Quote by Francis Bacon

Science is but an image of the truth.


Science is but an image of the truth.

Summary

This quote suggests that science serves as a representation or reflection of the truth rather than the absolute truth itself. It implies that while scientific knowledge and theories help us approach truth, they are still limited and may not fully capture the complexity and entirety of reality. Science provides a lens to understand the world, but it is important to recognize its limitations and that it is a human construct shaped by our perception and interpretation of reality.
