Art, Science and Human Being

The author discusses his view that while art and science are very different activities, scientific creation and artistic creation are both inspired by the unconscious and so have much in common. Creativity is manifested in new artistic ideas formed in new visions of the world and in scientific ideas about certain aspects of nature or the universe. Considering the works of philosophers, both ancient and contemporary, he comes to the conclusion that the disciplines are unified by the spirit that originates in human being and that is communicated to human being.
