I'm working on a social theory paper for a course, in which I'm following the lead of Hans Joas who argues that an understanding of creativity as a force at work in human interaction would advance our understandings of the question of what it means to be human.
While trying to synthesize his theory in a way that makes sense without dealing with his historical precedents of Peirce, Mead and Dewey, I googled Joas and came upon this excellent interview. Not only does he speak of his theory in more accessible terms, he also talks about why he got interested in it in the first place.
