Sobre este artículo
Routledge, 2004-01-07. Hardcover. Very Good. 6x0x9. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. A few stray marks. <br> "Michael Fitzgerald presents his stimulating study of male creativity and autism (autism being far more common in males than females), arguing that a major genetic endowment is a prerequisite of genius, and that cultural and environmental factors are less significant than has often been claimed. He illuminates his argument with studies of historical figures who showed enormous capacity for creative activity, yet had immature personalities and deficits in empathy and social interaction skills.
Sinopsis
Autism and Creativity is a stimulating study of male creativity and autism, arguing that a major genetic endowment is a prerequisite of genius, and that cultural and environmental factors are less significant than has often been claimed. Chapters on the diagnosis and psychology of autism set the scene for a detailed examination of a number of important historical figures. For example:* In the Indian mathematician Ramanujan, the classic traits of Asperger's syndrome are shown to have coexisted with an extraordinary level of creativity* More unexpectedly, from the fields of philosophy, politics and literature, scrutiny of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sir Keith Joseph, Eamon de Valera, Lewis Carroll and William Butler Yeats reveals classical autistic features.Autism and Creativity will prove fascinating reading not only for professionals and students in the field of autism and Asperger's syndrome, but for anyone wanting to know how individuals presenting autistic features have on many occasions changed the way we understand society.
