Discussion Forum > Generating new ideas

“In formal education the student is led implicitly if not explicitly to believe that reason is the main or only method by which science advances.” I rather liked this. We know better now, don't we? We know that reason is often used more to rationalise a new idea than to generate one. So what is the science of generating ideas?

I found a rather good exposition on how to generate new ideas here: https://archive.org/stream/artofscientifici00beve#page/n91/mode/2up

Go to pages 70 onward, esp pp 76-77.

It is similar to Mark's ideas but interestingly comes from a scientist.
