Robert J. Aumann

“Science is often characterized as a quest for truth, where truth is something absolute, which exists outside of the observer. But I view science more as a quest for understanding, where the understanding is that of the observer, the scientist. Such understanding is best gained by studying relations—relations between different ideas, relations between different phenomena; relations between ideas and phenomena. Rather than asking “How does this phenomenon work?” we ask, “How does this phenomenon resemble others with which we are familiar?” Rather than asking “Does this idea make sense?” we ask, “How does this idea resemble other ideas?”
