Imagination and Geometry

Indeed, geometry is not just a discipline, it is an approach. It is not just the study of space, but an unique way of seeing nature and structure: through the visual image rather than cold, abstract logic. Through the act of imagination, in the sense of conjuring up visual images, It turns abstract semi-comprehension into more intuitive understanding. Coxeter was so right.
