Summary/Abstract: The review of: “Creative Society/Monograph” by Tomas Kačerauskas; Vilnius: Technika, 2014, 408 p. ISBN 978-609-457-762-8 The paper reviews Tomas Kačerauskas’ monograph „Creative society“ (2014). According to the author, the monograph integrates the problems of creative society in the highest level of scientific reflection. Since the creative society is a problem for a postmodern future, the monograph is unique and valuable in degree of world science. According to the author, the monograph reaches its objective of forming a field of studies whose focus is a creative society. The author pays attention to passages on creativity in the perspective of existential philosophy, ethics, phenomenology, and hermeneutics. One of the fundamental concepts of the monograph is the “creatial.” It plays the role of the most daily and banal phenomenon of creativity. According to the reviewer, this invention (construction of “creatial”) of T. Kačerauskas is perhaps the most original theoretic and methodological achievement, the keystone for conceptual composition of the book.
