Aristoteteles already knew apart from the deduction (deductio) and the induction (epagoge) the concept he named himself, the abduction (epagoge). However, he did not consider it conclusive, and therefore neglected it. That was also the reason for him to attribute a merely inductive method to Socrates who would search for general ethic terms. Due to C. S. Peirce's (1839–1914) accomplishment, abduction was rediscovered and was able to realize its full logical potential. According to his theory, only abduction makes creative thinking possible. This essay tries to apply abduction to Charmides ' Platon for the very first time. It proves, that in core scenes during the dialogue surprising proposals are made, which lead with the application of the abduction and with the aim of answering the what-is-what-question to new definitions and general terms. It's about working out the affinity between the abduction, like Peirce demands, and the socratic method in search for general terms.

For the first time, the article analyses certain aspects of Russian poetry of the “Silver Age” in order to identify the rudiments or features which are characteristic of the postmodern creative paradigm. It is noted that a number of poets almost do not have any postmodernist tendencies. Despite the fact it is proved that postmodernism denies the personality-centric and aesthetically oriented concept of modernism, it nevertheless arose on the basis of modernism and has sharpened evolutionary features formulated in the first half of the 20th century. The article aims to prove a hypothesis that arises in the authors during a preliminary perceptual reading of the poets` works of the “Silver Age”: in the early 20th century. Sporadically and consistently in individual authors can be observed irony, play, reconstruction and performance as precursor of postmodernist creative thinking. Specialties of the Russian poetry of the “Silver Age”, which directly correlate with postmodernist tendencies of the second half of the 20th century is not a description itself, but the realization of reality, ambivalence, as well as following the linguistic and figurative, conceptual, motive levels of gradual transitions between the paradigms of “symbolism – modernism” and “modernism – postmodernism”. The international significance of the article is that the material of one of the Eastern European literatures has proved the existence of postmodern (quasi-postmodern) features in the first half of the 20th century for the first time, which can serve as a deeper research in the field of literary typology, continuity; culturology and anthropology.

In the 21st century, knowledge economy has been growing rapidly. In order to strengthen knowledge competitiveness and face the international competition of the new century, Taiwan should achieve the educational goal of lifelong learning, widely build up learning organizations, tend citizens who can learn through lives, and positively give impetus to whole people reading program. To meet the coming of learning society, knowledge management has become the key to tap the treasury of library-using education. Knowledge can be fully developed only by close sharing and intellectual interchange. Thus, it can diffuse effectively. Reading and pursuing knowledge are the motive power of working out one’s potentialities and inciting creative thinking. “Knowledge is power” is a wise saying of Francis Bacon, a British philosopher. He also stated, “Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.” This statement brings out very profound meanings. It verifies that reading can not only absorb the essence of books, but broaden one’s general knowledge. The Btitish Education Secretary, David Blunkett, said, “Turning the pages of a book is to open a window on the world. Books are the foundation on which other learning can be built.” The saying well indicates that reading is the communication between mind and mind. It is also a valuable secret of being vigorous and keeping away from loneliness.

The article discusses the factors that improve people’s intellectual abilities. To do this, it provides information about the physiology of the human brain and the mechanism by which the information it perceives is stored in memory. To develop students' 'creative thinking' skills, it is necessary to develop their 'imagination' skills. The imagination perceives information from the mind. “Indirect perception” is important for imagining physical processes. Data visualization is important for understanding processes. To do this, use the "Mind Map", which is an effective way to perform such a task. The article describes the opportunities for students to develop "creative thinking" skills in the teaching of "Aggregate states of matter." For the first time, "Aggregate Cases" are being published. Not only it stores a lot of information about physical processes, but it also helps students develop “full thinking” skills by activating the cerebral hemispheres.

This paper provides a brief overview of Creative Pedagogy as an educational trend, which was introduced over 30 years ago, in 1989, and has spread extensively around the world since that time. It also demonstrates Creative Pedagogy’s application to Foreign Language Education (FLED) and other subjects. Originally, just as creative thinking is opposed to critical thinking, Creative Pedagogy was opposed to Critical Pedagogy, but it was defined as a formula of invention—absolutely obligatory in patent description in technology and the first time in the history of education—and this made it opposed to all other types of pedagogies.. With the advent of Sozidonics, the science of creativity, where creativity was given a scientific definition, Creative Pedagogy became the only trend in education that is technologically-defined and scientifically-based. When united with Creative Andragogy, it became Creagogy—a generic science of creative education.

Entrepreneurship has started to be used as a tool for individual interests as well as the implementation of innovative ideas. Sustainability in entrepreneurship requires corporate social responsibility and ethical principles in leadership. The fact that individual interests are a hidden aim in entrepreneurship puts justice and ethics in the background. Entrepreneurship is based on sustainable, ethical, corporate innovation, and creative thinking. Entrepreneurship, which is set forth with the individual secret goals of entrepreneurs, causes important problems in leadership and managerial context. Especially, managerial pamperdom and prestige entrepreneurship that emerged in professional organizations are introduced to the literature for the first time. It is thought that this chapter will make significant contributions to the fields of entrepreneurship, business, management, and strategy.

Some things are just infuriatingly difficult to pin down in geology. For instance, just how deep was our pebble sea, the Silurian sea of the Welsh Basin at the spot that became, some 400 million years later, the beach beneath our feet? Well, one can estimate some kind of minimum depth. It was deeper than the depth to which waves and tides can leave a trace on a sea floor, because no traces of these phenomena have been found in the pebble stuff or—rather more convincingly as evidence—in any of the strata of those Welsh cliffs from which the pebble could have been derived. As a rule of thumb, that means that the sea was more than a couple of hundred metres deep, that being the depth to which the very biggest waves of the very biggest storms on a wide open sea can stir the sea floor. Now, if strata have been deposited above that level, then one can make some reasonable estimates of ancient water depth. Thus, if one finds fossilized beach-strata, that is an obvious signal that those rocks were formed virtually at sea level. And below that, we can make a distinction between those shallow sea floors that are stirred pretty well all the time, even by the small waves of a fair-weather day (on this kind of sea floor, mud is winnowed away, and only sand and pebbles can settle); and those deeper sea floors only affected by the biggest storms (where thick muddy layers can settle in between major storms that may have been a decade—or a century—apart). But below even that? It is, in practical terms, hard to tell from the rock strata whether the ancient sea floor on which they were laid down was 300m or 3000m deep, or perhaps even more. So it is with the pebble rock. This Welsh sea floor was deep in general terms, but its precise depth remains a mystery—working out even a reasonably imprecise depth remains as a puzzle for future generations of geologists to solve.

Stimulating the interest of students in biological sciences necessitates the use of new teaching methods and motivating approaches. The idea of the self-expression assignment (SEA) has evolved from the prevalent environment at the College for Women of Kuwait University (Safat, State of Kuwait), a newly established college where the number of students is low and where students have varied backgrounds and interests and are being instructed biological sciences in English for the first time. This SEA requires each student to choose a topic among a long list of topics and interact with it in any way to produce a finished product without the interference of the course instructor. Students are told that the SEA will be graded based on their commitment, creative thinking, innovation in developing the idea, and finishing up of the chosen assignment. The SEA has been implemented in three introductory courses, namely, Biology, Introduction to Human Nutrition and Food Science, and The Human Body. Many interesting projects resulted from the SEA, and, based on an administered survey, students assessed this assignment very favorably. Students expressed their pleasure of experiencing freedom in choosing their own topics, interacting with such topics, learning more about them, and finishing up their projects. Students appreciated this type of exposure to biological sciences and expressed that such an experience enhanced their interest in such sciences.
