Experiential approach to scientific-spiritual understanding
Zajonc discusses Goethe's proposal that science is not only about finding the mechanisms behind the "theatre of the senses," rather to understand being from an experiential point of view.
Scientific insight comes in a flash, it is a moment of transcendence -- a moment of perception -- what is the sensory-moral. Poetry is at the heart of science.
"Knowledge is not an object that you acquire, it's not a mechanism that you provide to the human mind. It's actually an epiphanal moment." Which is true to the arts, science, and faith.
