Kagawa, Yuko. (2004). Management of Judgment in Zen and CPS. Unpublished masters project, State University of New York- College at Buffalo, International Center for Studies in Creativity, Buffalo, NY.

Type of Resource: Dissertation/Thesis

The purposes of this project were to investigate the concepts, principles and philosophies of Zen and creative problem solving (CPS) and to analyze the differences and similarities in how management of judgment is presented in the Zen literature and CPS literature. The comparison of Zen and CPS indicated that both Zen and CPS had the deferred judgment principle or philosophy. However, affirmative judgment is unique to the CPS process. Dynamic balance of divergence and convergence was also a principle that was unique to CPS. With the absence of affirmative judgment principle, on the other hand, Zen consisted of the skeptical judgment philosophy, which functioned as a reminder for one to stay open-minded and to foster life-long learning. In Zen, although management of judgment was important, skeptical judgment and deferred judgment maintained a collaborative relationship, rather than the balancing relationship. Finally, several pieces of literature indicated that CPS in a practice could be a philosophy.
