Intuition

In this concise yet powerful work, Buckminster Fuller—inventor, futurist, and creator of the geodesic dome—contends that intuition is not the opposite of logic, but rather its highest expression. Drawing on decades of experience as a systems thinker, Fuller examines how intuitive insight allows humans to grasp complex, interconnected realities that linear thinking alone cannot fully explain.

Named for Fuller’s sailboat and written in 1968, Intuition takes the form of a book-length poem. The text is a uniquely metaphysical addition to Fuller’s oeuvre, presenting a new side to the prolific theorist. An introduction by literary scholar Anahid Nersessian explores the text from a poetics perspective, drawing out the effects of the verse.
