Henry Nelson Wieman's doctoral dissertation of 1917 demonstrates that he was a major thinker at the beginning of his career. The thesis is two-fold: to show that to be human is to have a nature disposed to inalienable conflict of interests, and to show that creativity is the best principle by which to organize interests. Co-published with the Foundation for Philosophy of Creativity.
