商品描述

A personal story of the ways in which persistence, chance, and creativity interact in biomedical research.

This first book by the author of Zen and the Brain examines the role of chance in the creative process. James Austin tells a personal story of the ways in which persistence, chance, and creativity interact in biomedical research; the conclusions he reaches shed light on the creative process in any field. Austin shows how, in his own investigations, unpredictable events shaped the outcome of his research and brought about novel results. He then goes beyond this story of serendipity to propose a new classification of the varieties of chance, drawing on his own research and examples from the history of science--including the famous accidents that led Fleming to the discovery of penicillin. Finally, he explores the nature of the creative process, considering not only the environmental and neurophysiological correlates of creativity but also the role of intuition in both scientific discoveries and spiritual quests. This updated MIT Press paperback edition includes a new introduction and recent material on medical research, creativity, and spirituality.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

關於堅持、機會與創造力在生物醫學研究中互動的個人故事。

這是《禪與大腦》作者的第一本書，探討了機會在創造過程中的角色。詹姆斯·奧斯丁（James Austin）講述了堅持、機會與創造力在生物醫學研究中互動的個人故事；他所達成的結論為任何領域的創造過程提供了啟示。奧斯丁展示了在他自己的研究中，無法預測的事件如何塑造了研究的結果並帶來了新穎的結果。他進一步超越了這個偶然的故事，提出了一種新的機會類型分類，並引用了他自己的研究和科學史上的例子——包括導致弗萊明（Fleming）發現青黴素的著名意外。最後，他探討了創造過程的本質，不僅考慮了創造力的環境和神經生理相關性，還考慮了直覺在科學發現和精神探索中的角色。這本更新的麻省理工學院出版社平裝版包括了一個新的導言以及有關醫學研究、創造力和靈性的最新材料。
