“Every great creative idea, formulated as a philosophy, has a social setting - in time, in a geographical location, in a political economy, in a matrix of interests and knowledge. It is not a free-swinging phenomenon like a balloon without moorings. It is not produced in a vacuum and, being creative, it does not work in a vacuum. Nurtured on things experienced and things known, it reaches out toward the unknown like a flower on a stalk growing out of the soil.” DoeIdeasPhilosophyPoliticalSocialInterestKnownEconomyCreativeGrowingFlowerSettingSettingsSoilPhenomenonReach OutLocationBe CreativeVacuumsStalkingBalloonsCreative IdeasPolitical Economy Book:Making Women's History: The Essential Mary Ritter Beard Source: Making Women's History: The Essential Mary Ritter Beard
