Creation is different from birth and emanation. It brings into life something absolutely new that never existed before. Freedom and creativity are peculiar to human personality and distinguish it from everything else in the world. All generic and general features of a human which belong to history, tradition, society, class, nation, family, are alien to personality and must be eventually overcome in the acts of creativity. The task of personality is to create one's own self.
Personality is both alpha and omega, the beginning and the end of the creative process.
The dualism of noumenal and phenomenal worlds is the source of universal tragedy. Culture in general and each work of culture are metaphysical failure because they transform the world only symbolically, figuratively, while the genuine aim of inspiration is to bring forth new forms of life, not merely signs and images. The urge for creativity comprises the third great epoch of human spiritual development and puts an end to the morality of law and obedience. Historically, creativity was thought to be alien to the spirit of Christianity, something permitted but not needed or desired for a Christian. Ethics must be reoriented from normative to creative foundations.
