Famous Quote
Sans les math´ematiques on ne p´en`etre point au fond de la philosophie. Sans la philosophie on ne p´en`etre point au fond des math´ematiques. Sans les deux on ne p´en`etre au fond de rien. Without mathematics we cannot penetrate deeply into philosophy. Without philosophy we cannot penetrate deeply into mathematics. Without both we cannot penetrate deeply into anything. - Excerpts of this translation come from Meta Math![1] by Gregory Chaitin
This recursive reference shows a form of unity that is composed of mathematics and philosophy, which resembles the idea of Monadology, coin-phrased by Leibniz.
