"KNOWLEDGE PROCESSING, CREATIVITY AND POLITICS" BY SHOWAN KHURSHID
from:
There are many approaches to the understanding of creativity and one of such interpretations is the book by Kurdish doctor and writer Showan Khurshid, titled Knowledge Processing, Creativity and Politics. His explanation of the concept of creativity deviates somewhat from the traditional and revolutionary school of thought to something that is quite 'evolutionary' and philosophical, banking mostly on idea of human morality.
According to Dr Khurshid, societal changes are actively linked with people's perceptions of morality, as opposed to the usual Marx-inspired thinking of relating such advances and changes to class stuggle and differences in economic status and background.
His book, Knowledge Processing, Creativity and Politics places a question mark on the rather conventional way we treat and deal with differences in ideologies, philosophies and religions. Dr Khurshid adopts the thinking the morality approach can be applied to all aspects and strains of human life. The main question he seeks to answer is: how is it possible to have political order and peace?
Knowledge Processing, Creativity and Politics stresses that man's most important and vital characteristic to survive in this world is his creative faculties. That is, the ability to obtain, pass on and apply the knowledge he has learned, based on his physical makeup or biology, his mental abilities or psychology and experiences.
Creativity, to him, is a prerequisite for morality. Thus, the best form of morality is what would help our creativity grow best. People should agree on their perceptions and definitions of morality in order to resolve conflicts, obtain peace, give rise to political power and, eventually, achieve peace and order.
However, we may ask how this 'agreement' is possible in a world with varying interests, orientations and tastes. When we really think about it, a lot of liberal ideologies and democracies have fallen to conflict because of moral disagreements; and, oftentimes, how societies, groups and concepts evolve are also based on such disagreements.
This is not to say, however, that because the presence of these disagreements is common to all societies, that they all ended up in the same vein. Because of the variations in history and background, they have transformed into different societies with different, sometimes even opposing political thrusts and histories.
Knowledge Processing, Creativity and Politics tackles the above issue at greater length, and it will take more than just this article to summarize all the ideas Dr Khurshid has suggested. One thing is clear, however, is that creativity is a powerful force in all of life's movements and shifts. Creativity is among the factors that influence and effect change. Thus, it is something that we should care for and constantly seek to improve and cultivate.
