«Ideas para la imaginación impura» is the science and philosophy essay by Jorge Wagensberg, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in hardback (288 pages).
53 reflections on the sources of scientific imagination: any experience, intuition, belief or prejudice can feed it. Unlike art or revelation, science is distinguished by its method and progresses by disagreeing with the masters. The author places creativity between discipline and chaos and confesses the experiences behind each idea.
Volume 54 of the Metatemas collection. First edition published in September 1998. The dust jacket reproduces a detail of Êlipse i omnis vegetal (1934), by Salvador Dalí.
Essays intended for general readers interested in the philosophy of science and the mechanisms of scientific creativity.
Jorge Wagensberg Lubinski, was a Spanish professor, researcher and writer.
