Abstract: The subject of this research is the consideration of specificity of conceptualization of creativity as a phenomenon in rationalistic philosophical tradition. Such conceptualization implies the transition from comprehension of creativity as an attribute of existence towards the most significant attribute of human existence, the activity of omnipotent, in other words “pure mind”. It is noted that the novelty as a result of rational activity of a creative subject is predetermined by the universal, substantial nature of the world manifested in the uniform consistencies, which in turn, must be open. The scientific novelty lies in discovering the analogues of “pure mind” and its determinant role in understanding of the phenomenon of creativity within the discourse of rationalistic philosophy. The author reveals a definitive concept – a human is creative, encapsulating the characteristics of utter certainty in omnipotence of mind as a source of all creative intentions and absolutization of the possibility of creative inquiries in the area of scientific knowledge, as well as conquering and transformation of the surrounding world. A conclusion is made that the rationalistic philosophy sets the logical and gnoseological objectives in the context of the philosophical conceptualization of creativity.
