Quotes by Johan Wagemans  (?)

“Psychologie moet zowel proberen verklaren als proberen begrijpen.”
― Johan Wagemans

“Within idealism, the epistemological form is the most common variant. This means that we can only know reality through our senses and our own thought processes. When you consider this carefully, it makes a compelling point: we have no direct access to the world. Everything passes through observations gathered by our own eyes and through reasonings occurring within our own brains. There is no direct knowledge of the world independent of the person possessing that knowledge. Consequently, we can only know the world through our senses and our own minds.”
― Johan Wagemans

“Een cirkel is eigenlijk altijd zowel hol als bol, maar van binnen uit of van buiten uit bekeken ziet men altijd maar een van de twee mogelijkheden. Als de cirkel bol is van binnen uit bekeken, is hij hol van buiten uit bekeken en omgekeerd. Zo is het ook met het denken.”
― Johan Wagemans
