The Mathematician's Mind: The Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field
Fifty years ago when Jacques Hadamard set out to explore how mathematicians invent new ideas, he considered the creative experiences of some of the greatest thinkers of his generation, such as George Polya, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Albert Einstein. It appeared that inspiration could strike anytime, particularly after an individual had worked hard on a problem for days and then turned attention to another activity. In exploring this phenomenon, Hadamard produced one of the most famous and cogent cases for the existence of unconscious mental processes in mathematical invention and other forms of creativity. Written before the explosion of research in computers and cognitive science, his book, originally titled The Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field , remains an important tool for exploring the increasingly complex problem of mental life. The roots of creativity for Hadamard lie not in consciousness, but in the long unconscious work of incubation, and in the unconscious aesthetic selection of ideas that thereby pass into consciousness. His discussion of this process comprises a wide range of topics, including the use of mental images or symbols, visualized or auditory words, "meaningless" words, logic, and intuition. Among the important documents collected is a letter from Albert Einstein analyzing his own mechanism of thought.

One of the foremost French mathematicians discusses creative thinking in his field. Among the topics considered are: the role of the unconscious, the incubation period, the conscious elaboration of hunches, the function of imagery, individual differences in mathematical thinking, and exceptional cases of intuition. In a chapter called "Discovery as synthesis," the intuitive grasping of a ...

This book presents a rational analysis of the creative thinking processes, with special reference to mathematical discovery. The first three chapters introduce the problem and present the thesis that creative thought involves some unconscious work. In the fourth and fifth chapters the author analyzes the stage of preparation for creative thought, with an evaluation of logic versus chance in ...

This study, like everything which could be written on mathematical invention, was first inspired by Henri Poincare's famous lecture before the Societe de Psychologie in Paris. I first came back to the subject in a meeting at the Centre de Synth & se in Paris (1937). But a more thorough treatment of it has been given in an extensive course of lectures deivered (1943) at the Ecole.

When the United States entered the Gilded Age after the Civil War the nation lost its philosophical moorings and looked eastward to "Old Japan," with its seemingly untouched indigenous culture, for balance and perspective. Japan, meanwhile, was trying to reinvent itself as a more cosmopolitan, modern state, ultimately transforming itself, in the course of twenty-five years, from a feudal ...
