  • Modern man, seeking a middle position in the evaluation of sense impression and thought, can, following Plato , interpret the process of understanding nature as a correspondence, that is, a coming into congruence of pre-existing images of the human psyche with external objects and their behaviour.

    "Writings on Physics and Philosophy" by Wolfgang Pauli, (p. 142), 1994.
