Seeing-Knowing

Jacques Monod: “It may be asked, of course, whether all the variants, conservations, and symmetries that make up the texture of (scientific) discourse are not fictions substituted for reality in order to obtain a workable IMAGE, partially emptied of substance, but accessible to the operations of LOGIC itself founded upon a purely abstract, perhaps ‘conventional’ principle of IDENTITY – a convention with which, however, human reason seems unable to dispense.”

From a book titled “Chance and Necessity” published by Collins.
