Douglas E. Welch<p>How New Ideas Arise via The MIT Press Reader [Shared]</p><p>While discussing the problem of how ideas arise in his “Science of Logic,” Hegel stated that “the beginning must be an absolute, or what is synonymous here, an abstract beginning.” Therefore, a new beginning “may not suppose anything, must not be mediated by anything,” but “must be purely and simply an immediacy, or rather merely immediacy itself.” In other words, Hegel declares the utter necessity of intuition, renouncing the control of the rational mind in favor of unconscious foresight. This is perhaps motivated by the fact that self-censoring doesn’t exist in the unconscious or in ideas, which are free to combine in improbable and ever-mixing associations.</p><p>Read More</p><p><a href="https://welchwrite.com/blog/2025/04/24/how-new-ideas-arise-via-the-mit-press-reader-shared/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">welchwrite.com/blog/2025/04/24</span><span class="invisible">/how-new-ideas-arise-via-the-mit-press-reader-shared/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/idea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>idea</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Thinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thinking</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/thought" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thought</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/mit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mit</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/creativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>creativity</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/shared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shared</span></a></p>
