" The process of understanding nature as well as the happiness that man feels in understanding- that is, in the conscious realization or new knowledge- seems thus to be based on a correspondence, a ''matching'' of inner images pre-existent in the human psyche with external objects and their behavior. This interpretation of scientific knowledge, of course, goes back to Plato and is, as we shall see, advocated very clearly by Kepler. "
