Examples
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, mathe - matics was so fascinated with its newly developing raw operational skills, that, in its ebullience, it hid from itself the necessity of attending to some basic con - ceptual (ideative ) subtleties, mostly involving infinity, the discovery and pursuit of which had been a hallmark of the mathematics of the Greeks.
INFINITY SALOMON BOCHNER 1968
We see more clearly, therefore, with the aid of the doctrine of Energy, the import of the theory of transcendental æsthetic enunciated by Kant, who first pointed out that there are elements, and those the most necessary and universal, in the sense-presentation which bear the character of ideality as fully as the most subjective efforts of our ideative activity.

We seldom pursue so far into detail the ideative effort.
Essays Towards a Theory of Knowledge Alexander Philip
The primary qualities, being the general laws or forms of organic Energy-transmutation, are in a higher sense ideal, for they are the necessary conditions under which both sense-presentation and ideative representation proceed.
Essays Towards a Theory of Knowledge Alexander Philip

Essays Towards a Theory of Knowledge Alexander Philip
Attention also requires a _preparation_ of the ideative centers in relation to the external object for which it is to be demanded: in other words, an internal, psychical "adaptation."
Spontaneous Activity in Education Maria Montessori 1911
