(2017) The phenomenology of learning and becoming, Dordrecht, Springer.
Chapter Six addresses the question of what it means to become creative. In particular, the chapter is focused on the emergence of paradigmatic creative experience. It presents a descriptive phenomenological investigation utilizing adult descriptions of having become creative as a child. The results are discussed in relation to relevant literature on becoming creative, most notably the groundbreaking work of Carl Rogers. Becoming creative, as an experience that involves productive self-expression and self-discovery, is further shown to be a significant constituent in the integration of learning and becoming. Finally, it is argued that rational, calculative competency is more beneficial to the developing person when complimented by imaginative, creative competency.
