Robert J. Sternberg's concept of transformational creativity represents a significant advancement in the study of creative cognition. It moves beyond traditional notions of novelty and appropriateness to propose creativity as a reconstructive and paradigm-shifting phenomenon. This paper offers a comprehensive theoretical analysis of Sternberg's notion, situating it within his Propulsion Model of Creative Contributions (Sternberg, 1999) and connecting it with his broader Triarchic Theory of Intelligence (Sternberg, 1985), Investment Theory of Creativity (Sternberg & Lubart, 1991), and WICS model (Sternberg, 2003). Drawing from cognitive, socio-cultural, and philosophical perspectives, the paper elaborates on how transformational creativity transcends adaptation to become a vehicle of epistemic transformation, ethical imagination, and educational reform. The discussion concludes by positioning transformational creativity as a bridge between cognitive science, moral reasoning, and future-oriented education. Transformational creativity. A new and useful way to determine the creative process. It is a deliberate and spontaneous wisdom-based entity to produce new things which are socially relevant. One of the important research projects conducted by Sternberg. In recent days this concept is called transformational giftedness. Sternberg says that the concept of transformational creativity is derived from Transformational giftedness. (Sternberg, 2024). It is a purposeful integration of creativity and wisdom (we can smell the balance theory of wisdom) to produce novel and useful ideas in the social contexts.Sometimes creativity is harmful and destroys the existing conditions of the socio- personal context that is called malignant creativity or malevolent . It is a toxic creativity which is harmful disturbing and disapproved. Transformational creativity is opposite from that it is a deliberate process of manifesting the possibilities. We can correlate Swami ji's Idea that "manifestation of perfection".It is also different from the tit for tat creativity or short term creativity. Because it integrates wisdom on and value. It is a radical application of transformative Paradigm and the concept of Praxis (Action, reflection and transformation)
