Einstein e Picasso: Mera Coincidência
In this interview, Arthur I. Miller, professor of history and philosophy of science in London, discusses the parallels between the lives and works of Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, topic of his book Einstein & Picasso: Space, time, and the beauty that causes havoc. He tells what drew him to the topic and talks about the major discoveries he made while researching the book. The fact that both men did their most valuable work during the same pe…
Insights of Genius: Imagery and Creativity in Science and Art
How can new knowledge be created from already existing knowledge? Insights of Genius shows how seeing is central to the greatest advances of the human intellect. Artists and scientists alike rely on visual representations of worlds both visible and invisible. Insights of Genius, first published by Copernicus in 1996, explores the creative leaps that led some of the greatest scientists and artists to dramatically transform how we understand nature…
Cultures of Creativity: Mathematics and Physics
The cultures here in question are those of mathematics and of physics that I shall interpret with the goal of exploring different modes of creativity. As case studies I will consider two scientists who were exemplars of these cultures, the mathematician Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) and the physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955). The modes of creativity that I will compare and contrast are their notions of aesthetics and intuition. In order to accomp…
Insights of Genius: Imagery and Creativity in Science and Art
Since the Enlightenment, science has been seen as an objective, true method of explanation about the physical and mathematical laws that explain and govern the universe. The 20th Century has shown that science is also a human enterprise, informed by idealogy and other assumptions. In this book, distinguished historian and philosopher of science Arthur Miller examines these and other important questions about what and how we know about the world. …
Aesthetics, Representation and Creativity in Art and Science
This paper explores the relation between art and science using an investigation of aesthetics, modes of representation and creativity in these disciplines. Emphasis is placed on case studies of artists and scientists
Neutral currents and the history of scientific ideas
Imagery inscientific Thought
A Reply to ‘Some New Aspects of Relativity: Comments on Zahar's Paper’
Remarks on Miller's Review of Philosophical Problems of Space and Time
Albert Einstein and Max Wertheimer: A Gestalt Psychologist's View of the Genesis of Special Relativity Theory
THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE Einstein maintained discussions with colleagues in virtually every discipline. His interactions with Freud on scientific matters—the best-known exchange Einstein had with the psychologists—are known not to have been satisfactory (e.g., Jones, 1963). They were constantly at loggerheads over whether psychoanalysis is a science. For example, a draft of Einstein’s reply circa 1927 to someone who suggested that Einstein permit hims…
