Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der WissenschaftenL.I.S.A. - Martina Plümacher | Wissenschaftliche und künstlerische Kreativität im Wechselspiel der PerspektivenGewohnte Pfade des Denkens und Handelns zu verlassen, ist das, was auch als Perspektivenwechsel bezeichnet wird. Die Philosophin Prof. Dr. Martina Plümacher von der Technischen Universität Berlin nimmt diesen Gedanken zum Ausgangspunkt ihres Vortrags. Sie fragt darin was bei einem Wechsel der Perspektiven genau passiert und was ihn in kreativ macht, geht man davon aus, dass Kreativität bei der Neuordnung bzw. Erfindung von Dingen und Prozessen eine entscheidende Rolle spielt.
