About the Book

The Author writes, I see myself as a scientist who has discovered some very important factors in the development of individuals and civilizations; and my theory is an explanation of both what makes people highly creative and what makes societies grow, prosper, and decline.The author encapsulates his theory with the acronym GAM/DP. GAM -- Individual: Three factors contribute to the development of personality and creativity of the individual. Good genetic endowment (G) e.g., intelligence, temperaments, specific talents, and by valid assistances (A) e.g., from parents, schools, books when combined with major misfortunes (M) of youth e.g., early parental death, physical infirmity, stimulates a personality which conflicts with society, providing in that tension material for creativity. DP -- Society: A society is creative where it develops within long periods when power is fought or grudgingly shared. Such division of power (DP) e.g. between emperor and pope, between state and church; between two or more major ideologies, fosters critical thinking. People begin to mistrust the power holder. They have the courage to speak their mind, to be creative on matters that are not those wanted by the power holder.In Volume V The GAM part of the theory is applied to interpret a wide range of masterworks and their creators. Illustrations play a major role in chapter eight where sixteen incongruous horses are discovered in Leonardo Dinvinci s Adoration of the Magi. The GAM part also studies Keynes, Pasteur, Max Planck, Gadamer, F.D. Roosevelt, Mozart and Bonhoeffer The DP part of the theory is used to interpret a wide range of creative worlds. Chapter 32, In Whose Company is God? On Michelangelo s High DP Creativity in the Creation of Adam is a DP chapter. The DP part tackles courageously such controversial subjects as Luther s Counter-Canossa (1520 and 1525), Why the Famous German Kultur Failed, In Praise of Rabbi Elyse Goldstein s ReVisionism and of Mondino de Luzzi s Dissections, How Did Eighteenth-Century America Produce so many Great Men? and How Did Nineteenth-Century Russia Produce So Many Great Men?
