The Study Of Non-Rational Factors In Science Discovery

In term of cognitive angle, non-rationality corresponds to thinking in image and inspiration thinking. If expanded to the psychology range, it still include factors such as the emotion, will, desire related to thinking ability, etc. besides thinking ability of the image and thinking ability of the inspiration. If expanded to heavy range, then, it also should include opportunity, accidental factor and so on. In inspiration thinking, the inspiration, intuition, insight, these three are very close, no matter according to concept, example or its emergence mechanism. So, in the past research, these three are often obscured. But after carrying on detailed research to inspiration, intuition, insight preparation course, psychological condition, research object, result and research way, etc. I think these three concepts are similar, but they have a difference between them. This text not only clarifies the above concepts, but also proves them through the examples. The imagination is a kind of important form of the thinking in image. In scientific research, it is playing irreplaceable important function as thinking of the inspiration. Science imagination is called the scientific suppose, science guess, it is a kind of creative scientific thinking activity again. The emergence that is imagined scientifically is often followed by the inspiration, intuition. The acquisition of an item of scientific findings, often has function of inspiration, intuition, and has imagination's participation too. At this time, people usually regard them as the same course and include them into the inspiration thinking or imagination briefly. Actually this is not so.
