“Unlike the position that exists in the physical sciences, in economics and other disciplines that deal with essentially complex phenomena, the aspects of the events to be accounted for about which we can get quantitative data are necessarily limited and may not include the important ones.” MayImportantDealsEventsPositionDisciplineAspectEconomicsComplexesDataPhenomenonPhysical Science Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“things in this world are very roughly averaged; and although averaging is a useful, rapid way of dispatching business, it does undoubtedly waste a great deal which is too good for wasting.” WorldWayDoeDealsThis WorldWasteDataRapids Author:Vernon Lee
“It is unwise to equate scientific activity with what we call reason, poetic activity with what we call imagination. Without the imaginative leap from facts to generalisation, no theoretic discovery in science is made. The poet, on the other hand, must not imagine but reason--that is to say, he must exercise a great deal of consciously directed thought in the selection and rejection of his data: there is a technical logic, a poetic reasoning in his choice of the words, rhythms and images by which a poem's coherence is achieved.” MadeReasonFactsHandsSciencePoetryChoicesImaginationDealsImaginePoetExerciseActivityDiscoveryLogicRhythmDataRejectionReasoningPoeticLeapSelectionImaginativeUnwiseCoherenceDiscovery In ScienceGeneralisation Author:Cecil Day-Lewis
