FYI 2023

The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes. … Now it is established in the sciences that no knowledge is acquired save through the study of its causes and beginnings, if it has had causes and beginnings; nor completed except by knowledge of its accidents and accompanying essentials.

Ibn Sina (Avicenna) (1020) Canon of Medicine


Let great authors have their due, as time, which is the author of authors, be not deprived of his due, which is, further and further to discover truth.

Francis Bacon (1605) The Advancement of Learning

Thanks for the comment. The quote says no knowledge is acquired if we do not know the causes. We need to search and research the causes to acquire the complete knowledge. If further interested, please see an article on that here: https://www.lemauricien.com/le-mauricien/ibn-sina-the-father-of-modern-medicine/365224/
