The Role Of Irrational Factors In Innovative Thinking Activities

In the activity of innovative thinking,“rational factors”(such as logic,deduction,induction,inference,etc.)and “non-rational factors” including emotion,intuition,inspiration and will will be taken into account.The activity of innovative thinking is a high level production and a form of movement in human thinking.To some extent,where there is no innovative thinking,there is no innovative practice.So is the production of creativity.Firstly,to discuss how the innovative thinking happens,it is based on the analysis and discussion of it's mental mechanism,explaining that innovative thinking is the integrating effect of will,imagination,and emotion,and that the integration is based on organic unification of rational and non-rational factors.Secondly,rationality and irrationality are inseparable,being the support that makes innovative thinking work,and the status in human's cognitive activities constantly change,both of them are mutually complement and independent to be developed and united in mutual criticism.The course of human's spiritual development reveals that humans are the unite of rationality and irrationality so that their innovative thinking is impossible to avoid the emergence and development from the unite.The paper aims to study the role of non-rational factors plays in innovative thinking through explanation in the field of spirit,social history and practical activity,to clarify the inseparability and its essence between non-rational factors and innovative thinking,and to discover the dilemma in the process that irrationality plays.It also aims to reveal the comprehensiveness and integrity of human on the base of unite of rational and non-rationality in a scientific way.The main research idea of the paper is based on the human existence and spirit,focusing on dialectical unit of rationality and irrationality,on the standpoint of Marxist philosophy through historical essay to analyze and discuss the humaninnovative thinking on the unite of rationality and irrationality in a multidimensional vision,and to discover non-rational factors' structure,mechanism and value in innovative thinking.Besides,the paper aims to find the dilemma of non-rational factors in innovative thinking and make the countermeasure thinking in order to achieve a comprehensive study of non-rational factors in innovative thinking so as to reveal that human emotion,need,inspiration,intuition,will and other non-rational factors play an essential role in innovative thinking.
