1. Sergey L. Markov. Kvintological approach to the construction of a unified theory of creativity

Abstract. The model and method for the construction of the unified theory of creativity are proposed. The universal principle of the centred Penta structure was laid in the base of the theory formation. This principle allows to construct the system of coherent measurements and categories of creativity and to present a classical model of creativity in the form 4Ps / S – process, product, person, place as well as the sense which generates and integrates them. The deployment of these central categories leads to the creation of such relevant specific theories of creativity as a problem-solving process, productive activity, self-actualization, creative dialogue, creative vision and sense creation.
Key words: unified theory of creativity, methodological grounds, kvintological approach, pentabasis, model of creativity.
