I'd submit that the limitations (as used in science) are generally helpful and wise if one understands why the constraints are used in the first place.(02-23-2012, 09:20 PM)zenmaster Wrote: I'm interested in approaches which have less limitations. What would be one such approach?
Two approaches that I find to have less limitations are those that are meditative and/or creative. In my experience you can provide catalysts for finding out any information by methods of praying to produce less limitations. Patience is the only real limitation that I can think of for these methods
Science is one of the best approaches to rationalizing the info which is brought to attention through intuition. However, there is a long historical/traditional basis for particular thinking (in the sciences) which places more limitations on possible explanatory paradigms than what we call 'science' or the scientific method, itself, actually does. We tend to borrow old thought, seemingly the most tenable, in order to produce new thought.
