Buckminster Fuller is a profound and visionary exploration of how humanity can think, design, and act more intelligently in service of the whole planet.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this concise yet powerful work, Buckminster Fuller--renowned 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNamed for Fuller's sailboat and written in 1968, \u003ci\u003eIntuition\u003c\/i\u003e takes the form of a book-length poem--now brought back into print as part of David Zwirner Books's beloved \u003ci\u003eekphrasis\u003c\/i\u003e series. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is both a meditation and a call to action, inviting readers to trust deeper patterns of understanding while remaining rigorously engaged with evidence and reason; this deeply humanist vision is especially urgent in contemporary times. Essential reading for architects, designers, thinkers, and anyone interested in sustainability, systems theory, or visionary thought, Intuition offers timeless insight into how humans can do \"more with less\" and navigate an increasingly complex world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs part of the \u003ci\u003eekphrasis\u003c\/i\u003e series, \u003ci\u003eIntuition\u003c\/i\u003e continues the exploration of how language and form can render complex, abstract ideas vividly in the mind, bridging thought and perception in the same spirit that the series brings visual and literary experience into dialogue.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHailed as one of the greatest minds of our times, R.
