The ability to create good theories in order to describe and explain the phenomena and to solve complex problems is acknowledged as central to scientific thinking. Accordingly, a kind of objectivity and pure rationalism are attributed to it. But scientific thinking is neither a pure cognitive process nor does it take place in an empty space. Scientists have adopted various ways of thinking, have developed basic belief systems about how things are, have made decisions in regard to a special epistemology, and have demonstrated preferences for a special philosophy of science and its corresponding scientific methodology and methods. Additionally, solving complex problems often requires a high level of creativity and the acceptance of uncertainty. Thus, coping with uncertainty as an integrative part of decision making has to be taken into account too. In the first part of the seminar an integrative frame of creativity will be worked out referring to cognitive science as an interdisciplinary discipline. In the second part students are invited to prepare related topics at their own choice for short presentations and discussions. Main goal of the seminar is to find ways of acquiring new tools for the development and improvement of one’s own expertise. Literature Harré, Rom (2002). Cognitive Science.
