The focus of the authors of the book is the process of creativity as a meaningful human activity. Experience is presented in it as a cognitive basis, a constitutive factor in the process of "deposition of social meanings." The processes of meaning formation, cultural translation and enrichment of meaning in language (using the example of metaphor and interpretation processes), as well as in specialized areas of human activity (scientific, artistic and social creativity) are studied. The "borderline" experience is considered as the source of emergent meaning.
