THE GREY NOTEBOOK ( JOSEP PLA) AND THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

As all antirationalists do, Corominas makes nice , brilliant phrases. He says, for example, that the discovery of the hertzians waves may be caused mainly by the poetical intuition rather than by an effort of systematic observation. My brother gets angry.


It has already been said here that The Grey Notebook was a kind of blog with a very high literary quality. The brother of Pla´s we mentioned above was a chemist.
I daresay that perhaps it´s true that the scientific method is neither so methodic nor so scientific. Besides, it may be arguable its mandatory presence at the beginning of many Science school manuals.
