<:> Bisociation



`I have coined the term `bisociation' in order to make a distinction between the routine skills of thinking on a single `plane', as it were, and the creative act, which, as I shall try to show, always operates on more than one plane.' (p. 35)

Bisociation is `the perceiving of a situation or idea ... in two self-consistent but habitually incompatible frames of reference.' (p. 35)
