Quote by Leonardo da Vinci

Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason.

Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience

Summary

This quote suggests that while nature develops through a process that begins with reason and culminates in experience, we as individuals must reverse this sequence. Instead of relying solely on reason to understand the world, we must first gather experiences and then seek to find the underlying reasons or explanations behind them. In other words, the quote emphasizes the importance of starting with firsthand experiences as a foundation for acquiring knowledge and exploring the interconnectedness of things, rather than relying solely on abstract reasoning.
