Course Objective 我們的事業甚至人生成功與否，不是建立在我們獲得與貢獻多少，而是在獲得與付出的過程中，我們是否樂在其中。能否在此過程中進行創意性思考，無疑是決定我們是否樂在其中的關鍵。本課程至少包括下述和「創意思考」相關的課題：它的神經科學基礎，它的心理學方法，它在哲學與邏輯上的認識論基礎，如何培養創意思考的基因，如何區別個人進行與在團體中運用創意思考，等等。本課程將進行系列的理論與個案探討，使學習者不僅知道什麼是「創意思考」，更要能夠進行創意思考。 Whether our careers and even our lives are successful or not is contingent not just upon the results we produce, but also upon whether we enjoy the activity of achieving those results. To achieve this goal, we need to be able to think creatively. The course hence covers at least the following topics relevant to “Creative Thinking”: its neuroscientific basis, its psychological methods, the epistemic foundation in both philosophy and logic, the development of the gene of creative thinking, the difference between thinking creatively as an individual and in a group, etc. The course will proceed with a series of close studies of theories and practical cases, so that the participants of the course will not only know 'what is creative thinking', but also be able to think creatively.
