Abstract
As technology has advanced in recent times, there is no shortage of physical things but
there is fear of invisible things such as radioactive substances. In such a scenario, society requires
a transition from quantitative satisfaction to a qualitative one. This article discusses design thinking
that can help us cope with this transition. First, the general nature of design thinking will be captured
by reviewing some related theories and thoughts, such as synthesis, abduction, and inner motive.
Design thinking will then be classified into synthetic design thinking and analytical design thinking,
where the former is found to be essential for contemporary design thinking.
