creativity, invention, innovation, evolution, techniqueAbstract
Reconciling the concepts of creativity, invention, and innovation with that of evolution in thinking about technique leads to an intertwined problem and objection. The problem is that the first three would imply a purpose or intentionality, while the fourth subsumes a blind and purposeless process. Hence the objection to using the Darwinian evolutionary model in the philosophy of technique. This work aims to propose and support the possibility of fruitfully thinking about technical evolution -beyond a mere metaphor-, without disregarding the first three concepts indicated.
