Imagination is as vital to any advance in science as learnin

Summary

This quote suggests that imagination plays a crucial role in scientific advancement, just as learning and precision are necessary for its foundation. While knowledge and accuracy form the basis of scientific inquiry, it is imagination that allows scientists to think beyond existing boundaries, to ask bold questions, and to propose innovative ideas. Imagination fuels curiosity and creativity, enabling scientists to explore uncharted territories and make groundbreaking discoveries. Without imagination, science would be limited to building upon existing knowledge rather than breaking new ground.

Psychoanalysis cannot be considered a method of education if by education we mean the topiary art of clipping a tree into a beautiful artificial shape.
