An Irrational Element Artist Trouser

'My view of the matter, for what it is worth, is that there is no such thing as a logical method of having new ideas, or a logical reconstruction of this process.

My view may be expressed by saying that every discovery contains an 'irrational element,' or 'a creative intuition,' in Bergson's sense.

In a similar way Einstein speaks of the 'search for those highly universal laws … from which a picture of the world can be obtained by pure deduction.

There is no logical path.

' he says, 'leading to these … laws.

They can only be reached by intuition, based upon something like an intellectual love (Einfühlung) of the objects of experience.

' - Karl Popper.
