Ford, Lewis S.  "The Search for the Source of Creativity."  Logos 1 (1980): 45-52.

Abstract

In the previous essay of this issue, and in "The Philosophical Approach to God" (Wake Forest University, 1979), W. Norris Clarke, S J criticizes Whitehead's separation of God and creativity, assigning no source for the creativity which just "wells up" in each occasion.  Clarke would derive creativity from past occasions, ultimately from God as the first efficient cause.  Although I agree that creativity has a source, it cannot be derived from the past, for reasons I adduce.  [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
