More quotes by Ludwig von Bertalanffy
I think that the fact that a theory so vague, so insufficiently verifiable, and so far from the criteria otherwise applied in hard science, could become a dogma, can be explained only on sociological grounds.
Ludwig von Bertalanffy
It is the 'zoomorphic' or 'rattomorphic' fallacy - the expressed or implicit contention that there is no essential difference between rat and man - which makes American psychology so profoundly disturbing.
Ludwig von Bertalanffy

Ludwig von Bertalanffy
