The article outlines the content and main postulates of one of the most important theories in the social sciences -the actor-network theory. The explanations of the theory regarding changes, causes, and factors of creativity are analyzed. The application of the actor-network theory to creativity and the innovation process, which arose at the end of the 20th century and became one of the interdisciplinary methodological theories, is described.
