The Intuitive Thinking In The Scientific Creation Of Modern Time

This article discussed the problem of intuition from the angle of thinking science and philosophy. Through an analytic survey of the research process of many scientists, we canfind that if we want to achieve science innovation, we need not only the means of experiment,mathematical calculations and the logical inferences , but also the non-logical factors such as intuition. So it is very important to research the intuitive thinking in the science creation of modern era.The intuitive thinking is a creative thinking method. Intuitive thinking can make people break through the fixed thinking pattern, break through the binding of the theory frame, make the subject deepen to the object directly and understand the object. Other thinking patterns such as the logical thinking and the thinking of image do not have such function. The intuitive thinking can both provide with insight into matters effectively and push forward the qualitative change and the leap of understanding. The purpose of this article is to reveal the function of intuitive thinking in the science creation as well as the humanistic spirits of intuitive thinking such as guiding the direction of science research.This article is consisted of four parts: In the first chapter, we clarify the definition and the characteristics of theintuitive thinking on the basis of a historical survey to the intuition theory,and then differ the intuition thinking from the others.In the second part, we analysis the evolution of scientific thinking and thecreating as well as the essence of science creation. Then we discuss thecourse, the behaves and the effects of the intuition thinking in sciencecreation. At the same time we point out the limitations of the intuitivethinking.In the third part, we talk about the intuitive thinking's guiding function,and we also reveal the dialectic relationship between the intuition and thetruth, morality, beauty in science, in the way of combining regulationwith purpose.At the last chapter, we talk about the importance of training intuitivethinking and list some realizable ways by which we can raise the sciencecreativity.
