Book Talk: Intuition by R. Buckminster Fuller

Please join us to celebrate Intuition by R. Buckminster Fuller, reissued by David Zwirner Books (October 2026).

In this concise, powerful work, Fuller—the renowned inventor, artist, and creator of the geodesic dome—contends that intuition is an essential function of human understanding, in which the mind apprehends generalized principles related to the universe prior to and independent of brain-based reasoning. Drawing on decades of experience as a systems thinker, Fuller looks to ancient Greek metaphysical thought, physics, and history to demonstrate how intuitive insight allows us to grasp complex, interconnected realities. In embracing the a priori mystery of the universe, human intuition has led to discoveries that have determined the past and present, and will guide the “physical and metaphysical success of all humanity.”
