Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Intuition by R. Buckminster Fuller is a profound, lyrical celebration of the human mind, highlighting the necessary value of intuition in uniting and advancing the sciences and the arts, and in guiding humanity as a whole. Knowledge is of the brain, wisdom is of the mind, and there is herewith implicit an a priori wisdom-of-wisdoms. -R. Buckminster Fuller In this concise, powerful work, Fuller-the renowned inventor, artist, and creator of the geodesic dome-contends that intuition is an essential function of human understanding, in which the mind apprehends generalized principles related to the universe prior to and independent of brain-based reasoning. Drawing on decades of experience as a systems thinker, Fuller looks to ancient Greek metaphysical thought, physics, and history to demonstrate how intuitive insight allows us to grasp complex, interconnected realities. In embracing the a priori mystery of the universe, human intuition has led to discoveries that have determined the past and present, and will guide the "physical and metaphysical success of all humanity." Written in 1968, Intuition is both a meditation and a call to action, inviting readers to trust deeper patterns of understanding while remaining rigorously engaged with reason; this deeply humanist vision is especially urgent in our contemporary time. A new introduction by literary scholar Anahid Nersessian discusses Fuller's poetics and metaphysical explorations--a remarkable, often overlooked aspect of his oeuvre. An important addition to the ekphrasis series, Intuition renders abstract ideas vividly through language and form. An essential text for readers across disciplines, this volume offers ever-relevant insight into human consciousness and its relationship to the extant systems both within and outside ourselves.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Intuition by R. Buckminster Fuller is a profound and visionary exploration of how humanity can think, design, and act more intelligently in service of the whole planet.In this concise yet powerful work, Buckminster Fullerrenowned inventor, futurist, and creator of the geodesic domecontends that intuition is not the opposite of logic, but rather its highest expression. Drawing on decades of experience as a systems thinker, Fuller examines how intuitive insight allows humans to grasp complex, interconnected realities that linear thinking alone cannot fully explain. Named for Fuller's sailboat and written in 1968, Intuition takes the form of a book-length poemnow brought back into print as part of David Zwirner Books's beloved ekphrasis series. The text is a uniquely metaphysical addition to Fuller's oeuvre, presenting a new side to the prolific theorist. An introduction by literary scholar Anahid Nersessian explores the text from a poetics perspective, drawing out the effects of the verse. This book is both a meditation and a call to action, inviting readers to trust deeper patterns of understanding while remaining rigorously engaged with evidence and reason; this deeply humanist vision is especially urgent in contemporary times. Essential reading for architects, designers, thinkers, and anyone interested in sustainability, systems theory, or visionary thought, Intuition offers timeless insight into how humans can do "more with less" and navigate an increasingly complex world. As part of the ekphrasis series, Intuition continues the exploration of how language and form can render complex, abstract ideas vividly in the mind, bridging thought and perception in the same spirit that the series brings visual and literary experience into dialogue.…
