Paradoxical thinking requires a higher level of creativity and divergent thinking, as analyzed in this part. Divergent thinking operates like paradoxical thinking – that is, merging unexpectedly completely unrelated ideas into one functional concept. This “thinking paradox” requires specific brain properties – namely, flexibility and malleability – called “neuroplasticity.” In this process, synapses are generated and dissolved in a continuous process that occurs during wakefulness and consciousness (Askenasy & Lehmann, 2013).
