Abstract
This article describes the role of apperception and imagination (scientific and poetic) in scientific and poetic creativity in order to compare with each other. It demonstrates the importance of imagination for scientific creativity and highlights typological features of ideal objects (according to V.S. Stepin) that are common to scientific ideal objects and poetic images. The article discusses the concept of scientific and poetic meaningfulness and scientific and poetic meanings. According to the definition of N.M. Smirnova creativity is understood as the process of creation of new cultural meanings. The scientific imagination is analyzed as a necessary factor of scientific activity. The role of imagination in the apperception of the results of scientific and poetic creativity is demonstrated. It’s shown that in term of phenomenology, human culture appears as the horizon where the meanings circulate as ideal objects of culture. Special attention is paid to the concepts of intersubjectivity of scientific and poetic contents. The reasons and the sources of special reliability of scientific and poetic knowledge are presented. Poetic creativity is considered as a kind of spiritual activity that has cognitive meaning. It’s demonstrated that poetic creativity as well as scientific one has its own object and subject. From this perspective the analysis of poetic seems heuristic for theory of knowledge.
