Creativism

Creativism is a term used by a few authors in different ways.

Michel Weber has coined the word ″pancreativism″ to describe the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead.[1]

Frank Visser describes Ken Wilber's philosophy as creativity being a fundamental principle of existence, labeling it "creativism."[2]

Former Scientologist Harry Palmer, founder of the Avatar Course, developed his own concept of creativism. In Palmer’s teachings, an avatar is a person who has reached a state of enlightenment through ″the evolutionary development of consciousness toward greater self-awareness and creative expression.″[3] Creativism is a term used to describe the way of thinking that leads to this goal, also described as ″living deliberately.″[4]
