Abstract
Creative work (as well as creativity itself) is one of the attributes of the human essence. The creation characterizes the consciousness and self-consciousness of the person to the same degree as the reflection of reality does. Art and scientific cognition are the kinds of creation that play an especially large role in the development of world civilization and culture. Information is a basis in both of them; however, intuition is of peculiar importance as well. Modern informatics gives researchers considerable methodological means for investigation of creation as a particular phenomenon of human activity.
