An analytical discussion of POIETICS ("la poiétique" in French) as the "science and philosophy of creation" and/or as "the relation/rapport of the creator with the object of creation while he is in the act of creating it" ("les conduites créatrices" in French). These disquisitions also constitute a critique of earlier theories on the subject while paving the way for a fresh theoretical approach into the field of research. On the whole, these disquisitions lay claim - by their probing of existing theories - to a theory or theories of their own, and, by default, to the impossibility of validly theorising on the subject. See for further explication the following article: The Exotic in Aesthetics: A Case Study of Poietics as the “Science and Philosophy of Creation” [Published in the Journal of the Institute of Asian Studies, Vol. XVII, n° 2 (Chennai, India), March 2000, pp. 123-146 & in The Gombak Review (A Journal of Language and Literature), Vol. 5, n° 1 (Kuala Lumpur: International Islamic University Malaysia), 2001, pp. 1 – 33.]
