ABSTRACT
Scientific inquiry is often divided into two great domains: (a) the context of discovery and (b) the context of justification. Philosophers, logicians, and mathematicians claimed justification as a part of their ter-
ritory and dismissed the context of discovery as none of their business, or even as “irrelevant to the logical analysis of scientific knowledge” (Popper, 1935/1959, p. 31). Concerning discovery, there still remains a mystical darkness where imagination and intuition reigns, or so it is claimed. Popper, Braithwaite, and others ceded the task of an investigation of discovery to psychology and, perhaps, sociology, but few psychologists have fished in these waters. Most did not care or dare.
