TraditionAbstract
In his seminal book, The Theatre of Spontaneity, J. L. Moreno introduced the term ''metapraxie'' to highlight some of his basic philosophical ideas about creativity. In this paper, these ideas are expanded by showing similarities of essential concepts with aspects of the work of Whitehead, Bohm, Jung, and the medieval Jewish mystics, the Kabbalists. The latter group's system used a diagram called the tree of life that suggested relationships among the basic components of the creative act. These are discussed in terms of their implications for the modern world.
