Horizon: Koestler on Creativity

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A review of the sciences,

What were the processes of creativity taking place in the mind of an Einstein formulating relativity? - or of a Shakespeare composing a sonnet?
Can experiments on rats or monkeys tell us anything about human behaviour in science and art? Is there an unconscious daemon at work in our minds doing our creative home-work as we watch TV?
Arthur Koestler takes a critical look at some theories of human creativity and puts his own views.
