Abstract

The article analyzes the intersubjective foundation of human existence. It argues that the human being, as a creature lacking innate mechanisms for inheriting human modes of being, is condemned to freedom and creativity. The specificity of the human lies in the universality of its forms of activity and thinking. From this arises the understanding of creativity as a human mode of self-determination. Therefore, to comprehend the genesis of the creative principle, it is necessary to examine the logic of the development of the human within the human being. Creativity, as the foundation of the human mode of existence, lies at the core of general giftedness. Both creativity and giftedness are conditioned by the socio-cultural and economic context in which they are realized. The discourse of the creatively gifted individual is not only of scientific and pedagogical significance; it also influences the formation of norms, classifications, and priorities in understanding and interpreting socially acceptable forms. The definition of creativity as activity aimed at producing new and useful results serves as a clear example of the uncritical transfer of the requirements of the existing socio-economic environment into scientific discourse. Thus, the article argues for the necessity of distinguishing between creativity and creativeness as two modes of human self-realization. Creativeness is proposed to be understood as a means of asserting individual or group interest. In contrast, creativity appears as a way of manifesting, through a person or community, not one's own interest but the logos of the Other. While creativeness is aimed at producing the new, creativity is connected to the human capacity to be an origin. An origin is something that endures, that has the capacity to persist in being and to sustain the human within it. The new can emerge and disappear, giving way to other new things, phenomena, or processes. Therefore, the emergence of something new does not necessarily signify a beginning. Something truly begins not by virtue of creating the new but, on the contrary, through the act of beginning, something genuinely new may appear. Based on the concept of interiorization, it is argued that a person encounters the creative principle not “within oneself” but in creative relations with other people. Reason, freedom, activity, and creativity arise, are sustained, and develop in the process of creating an intersubjective reality, which can be defined as culture.
