摘要:
The purpose of this paper is to initiate a broader dialogue on the
use of integrated intelligence (or INI) in formal research. The
application of INI in research is referred to as integrated inquiry.
The idea of integrated intelligence, and its specific applications,
can be viewed as genuine cognitive processes, or for the more skeptical,
as provocations to inspire the researcher toward greater creativity.
The first part of this paper briefly defines important terms and
situates the idea of integrated intelligence within a historical
and civilisational perspective. Finally, the most important section
of this paper outlines specific and practical ways that INI can
be used by the modern researcher. The five INI tools are the Intuitive
Diary, Free-form Writing, Meditative States, The Feeling Sense,
and Embracing Synchronicity. The essential argument of this paper
is that integrated inquiry can greatly enhance research.
