Do you think there is knowledge to be gained outside of rationalism? What could it be? How can you know anything without objective verification and empirical measurement?
I believe in creativity, and I feel it has value. However, it is not knowledge nor truth.
@DangerDave looooool
Objective verification and empirical measurement can also be limiting. We fool ourselves when we forget that there is a vast unknown. What we validate today will be upset tomorrow and new findings will take its place.
"I am certain of nothing but of the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of the imagination. What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth - whether it existed before or not - for I have the same idea of all our passions as of love: they are all, in their sublime, creative of essential beauty ... O for a life of sensations rather than thoughts."
John Keats
The only means of knowing something or getting as close to the truth that is possible at a particular time is SCIENCE made pure and simple. Intuition is a form of science where you are not fully in the driving seat e.g have lost many connections to a conclusion e.g where you are unable to recall how you came to a conclusion.
I'm a positivist. Thus I view that certain, or 'positive,' knowledge is based solely on reality, or the physical universe. I reject theistic or metaphysical efforts to make unverifiable knowledge claims.
