# Intuition vs. Logic: Einstein on the Scientific Method

**A Provocative 1919 Essay — Freshly Translated for Modern Readers**

Does science start with cold hard facts, or with a bold leap of imagination? Published on Christmas Day, 1919, this provocative essay by Albert Einstein explores the eternal battle between "Induction" and "Deduction."

Einstein argues that the truly great advances in human understanding come not from data alone, but from an intuitive "eavesdropping" on nature. It is a profound reflection on how we discover the laws of the universe—and a precursor to the modern philosophy of science.
