Collegium Budapest/Institute for Advanced StudyInaugural Lecture of Academic Year 1994/95 Delivered at Collegium Budapest. October 13, 1994. Public Lectures No. 12. January 1995. ISSN 1217 - 582X ISBN 963 8463 18 X. Collegium Budapest/Institute for Advanced Study, Budapest.Innovation has become a leading slogan for world economies, politicians and science policy-makers alike. It is the driving force of Western consumer societies that have come to expect the new to be replaced by the newest. But in contrast to mere fads and fashions, the consequences of relentless innovation are real. They manifest themselves in changes in life-style, in the ways societies function and in profound changes in outlook and perception. The lecture will ask how innovation became so central and wich mechanism sustain it in science and technology, art and humanities, in social and individual life. One consequence to be further explored is the relative loss in importance of the individual creative act, with implications how we view creativity, knowledge production and even the concept of the individual. Another question to be raised is that of the multiplicity of the new: despite the seeming diversity and multiplicity of options, is there also convergence or a process of synchronization at work? |
