Art and Creativity The Concept of Spiritual Creativity

Creativity is one of the main manifestations of spirituality. We may certainly say that there's no spirituality outside of creativity, and only because of it, philosophy, religion, and art attain their spiritual meaning and development. The highest form of creativity is self-cognition, self-making of a human. Aesthetic creativity is not external to the spiritual and human nature, but it is their constitutive force. Beauty is as important for the spiritual development, as are truth and good: the harmony is created in their unity in love. That is why the great Russian writer and thinker, F.M. Dostoyevsky said, repeating Plato's idea, that "beauty will save the world".
