This is an obscure but interesting article [Haught, 2006: (http://www.metanexus.net/conference2007/pdf/Haught_What)], and the author discusses the ways in which factors outside of a given system or problem can be important for understanding the system or problem in question. The author discusses some of the writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, etc. This is an interesting perspective from Teilhard on creativity:
"Love has always been carefully eliminated from realist and positivist concepts of the world; but sooner or later we shall have to acknowledge that it is the fundamental impulse of Life...with love omitted there is truly nothing ahead of us except the forbidding prospect of standardisation and enslavement—the doom of ants and termites...Love is the free and imaginative outpouring of the spirit over all unexplored paths" [Teilhard, 1959, cited in King, 2004: (http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=15629733)].
