Quote by Navin F. Proff

“Selbstverständlich kann diese Oeuvre wie jede andere Konklusion an seinem Fundament, den einzelnen Morphemen und in allerlei Hinsicht der Sprache attackiert werden. Sobald wir ein Argument als valide deklarieren, kann die Rechtmäßigkeit nur noch durch die Falschheit der Prämissen kollabieren. Rechtmäßigkeit kann immer durch eine Divergenz im Verständnis einzelner Definitionen angezweifelt werden. Die Definitionen, die wir bestimmten Schlüsselwörter geben, machen meist den Unterschied zwischen verschiedenen Weltanschauungen.”

“In reading any important philosopher, but most of all in reading Aristotle, it is necessary to study him in two ways; with reference to his predecessors, and with reference to his successors. In the former aspect, Aristotle's merits are enormous; in the latter, his demerits are equally enormous. For his demerits, however, his successors are more responsible than he is. He came at the end of the creative period of Greek thought, and after his death it was two thousand years before the world produced any philosopher who would be regarded as approximately his equal. Towards the end of this long period his authority had become almost as unquestioned as the Church, and in science, as well as in philosophy, had become a serious obstacle to progress. Ever since the beginning of the seventeenth century, almost every serious intellectual advance had to begin with an attack on some Aristotelian doctrine; in logic, this is still true at the present day. But it would have been at least as disastrous if any of his predecessors (except perhaps Democritus) had acquired equal authority.”

“Veterinary medicine is in many ways like the noble art of the detective. It is all about using logic and careful observation from a starting point (case history and physical exam), gathering clues (running tests), and piecing those facts and clues together to come up with a solution (diagnosis and treatment). Critical thinking and problem solving in the context of animal illness is the real work of the veterinarian. And now, for the first time ever, you can work your way through actual cases just like a vet does…without getting a drop of blood or slobber on you!”
