Different approaches to the problem of creativity, creative activity, creative potential in the Russian philosophy and in contemporary philosophical, sociological and psychological literature are dicussed. The author clarifies the concept of creativity and the typology of its various forms and stages. Thus every stage of creativity such as the idea of the detailing and concretization of ideas, the embodiment of ideas to life can be considered as an independent type of creativity. This classification of creative activity was born in the framework of modern science and belongs primarily to the types of scientific work (fundamental, applied, and technical knowledge). The author comes to the conclusion that the division between creative and uncreative work is very conditional. There is no uncreative activity. The human activitits are originally creative and one can speak only about the percentage or degree of creativity in each activity. Among the concettions of creavity mentioned in the article are developmental approach, activity-organizational, axiological, sinergetichesky and resource approaches. All they are common in Russian literature. From foreign researchers special attention is paid to the conception of environment and the creativity of Salvatore MADI.

It is necessary to distinguish the different fate of the creative individual: the suppression of individuality and identity, limited local creativity, the creativity of the non-adaptive price psychopathology, and integrated creativity. Scientist Creator as a person begins with realization of the surrounding world, and determining its own attitude to the world, with realization of the needs of self-realization and self-development.
