Creating theory: Encouragement for using creativity and deduction in qualitative nursing research by Elisabeth Bergdahl RN, Carina M. Berterö https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/nup.12421

"Quine also points....Creating a good hypothesis is an imaginative art, not a science"

Blockers of creativity in scientific research process 👇🏾

One could also view the dogma always working within a ‘conceptual framework’ or existing nursing theory as a creativity blocker. Taking the view that grand theories or conceptual frameworks should govern nursing science and research as done by, for example, Fawcett and Gigliotti (2001), Masters (2014), and Meleis (2007) is, in our view, a fundamental mistake. Forcing researchers to follow ideas that, in many cases, are not even scientific can become a serious ‘blocker’ for creativity (Adams, 2001; Davis, 2011). Of course, our beliefs affect how we do science, but that should encourage us to test and question our beliefs, not letting them govern our scientific thinking. Dahlberg et al. (2008), Fawcett and Gigliotti (2001), and Hoeck and Delmar (2018) are among those authors that have the notion that suggests that all research needs to be aligned with some philosophical system. This uncritical stance can become a serious problem if the philosophical theory becomes a dogmatic system that is not open to criticism. Accepting that researcher should not question some theoretical assumption is against the crucial scientific principle of being critical and realising that all statements, beliefs, and assumptions are open to revision (Feyerabend, 2010; Popper, 2002b; Quine, 1953; Yous et al., 2020).
There is also reason to question the effort for consensus sometimes mentioned as a scientific ideal by, among others, Bishop (1998) and Morse (2017b); which could be a discussion blocker. As Feyerabend (1999) says, we should sometimes be anarchistic and suggest different ways of thinking to provoke a creative debate; striving for consensus is, in many regards, a creativity blocker. Instead, we should encourage creative scholarly debate, questioning, discussing, and critically testing existing ideas, not letting existing theory limit further research by striving for consensus. Philosophers and scientists should aim for evidence that encourages further inquiry and discussion rather than consensus and evidence that stops it (Hintikka, 1970). Finding empirical evidence that falsifies a theory is a huge leap forward. We then know what does not work and develop and evolve theories further.

I'm looking for a department program that is at the intersection of philosophy of science, philosophy of education, philosophy of mind and graphic design

Has anyone come across something like that?

Drawing as a Way of Knowing in Art and Science Gemma Anderson

https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/D/bo27342051.html

#philosophyofscience

In recent history, the arts and sciences have often been considered opposing fields of study, but a growing trend in drawing research is beginning to bridge this divide. Gemma Anderson’s Drawing as a Way of Knowing in Art and Science introduces tested ways in which drawing as a research practice can enhance morphological insight, specifically within the natural sciences, mathematics, and art. Inspired and informed by collaboration with contemporary scientists and Goethe’s studies of morphology, as well as the work of artist Paul Klee, this book presents drawing as a means of developing and disseminating knowledge, and of understanding and engaging with the diversity of natural and theoretical forms, such as animal, vegetable, mineral, and four dimensional shapes. Anderson shows that drawing can offer a means of scientific discovery and can be integral to the creation of new knowledge in science as well as in the arts.
