“Science is rooted in the will to truth. With the will to truth it stands or falls. Lower the standard even slightly and science becomes diseased at the core. Not only science, but man. The will to truth, pure and unadulterated, is among the essential conditions of his existence; if the standard is compromised he easily becomes a kind of tragic caricature of himself.” IfsMenKindScienceFallExistenceConditionsPureEssentialsStandardsAccountsCoreTragicRootedCaricaturesDiseased Book:On Perceived Motion and Figural Organization Source: On Perceived Motion and Figural Organization
“"Pieces" almost always appear 'as parts' in whole processes. ... To sever a "'part" from the organized whole in which it occurs-whether it itself be a subsidiary whole or an "element"-is a very real process usually involving alterations in that "part". Modifications of a part frequently involve changes elsewhere in the whole itself. Nor is the nature of these alterations arbitrary, for they too are determined by whole-conditions.” RealWholeScienceProcessNatureChangePiecesConditionsElementsDeterminedOrganizedElsewhereArbitraryInvolvingAlterationsModification Author:Max Wertheimer
