Quote by Erwin Schrodinger

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one

Summary

This quote suggests that there is no inherent separation between oneself and the external world. It emphasizes that our perception of the world is not divided into what exists objectively and what is subjectively perceived. The notion of a barrier between the subject and object is deemed non-existent. It further implies that the advancement of physical sciences, despite breaking down barriers in understanding, does not alter this fundamentally non-existent division. Ultimately, this quote challenges the notion of duality and highlights the interconnectedness of the self with the surrounding world.
