Horizon: Koestler on Creativity

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Horizon - man and science today.

What were the processes of creativity taking place in the mind of an Einstein formulating relativity - or of a Shakespeare composing a sonnet?

Arthur Koestler takes a critical look at some theories of human creativity and puts his own views. (Colour)
