Judging Scientific Creativity: The Case of the Early Jagadis Bose

Abstract

In my book (Dasgupta, 1999), Jagadis Chandra Bose's creativity was assessed as it was given. The article (Dasgupta, 2009) investigated Bose's cognitive style as used in his scientific work. In this paper, on the basis of a framework taken from recent creativity studies, I explore the question: How creative was Bose as a scientist?
