<p>I agree, and would suggest reading “Science and Human Values” by Jacob Bronowski (<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060972815/qid=1136744908/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-9571912-0764166?s=books&v=glance&n=283155)%5B/url%5D”>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060972815/qid=1136744908/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-9571912-0764166?s=books&v=glance&n=283155)</a>, who was both a scientist and a poet. His “The Origins of Knowledge and Imagination” is a good follow on book as well.</p>
<p>Interesting, in reading the Amazon reader comments, I believe they have missed the key point (at least for me) of the book. That is, that the “thought processes” or creativity found in scientific thinking and creative thinking in the humanities are the same, only the evaluation criteria are different. The use of metaphorical thinking is common to both types of creativity.</p>
