On Taking Evidence Over Authority<br />

證 據 勝 於 權 威<br />

“He who searches for truth is not he who reviews<br />

the works of the ancients…[it is] he who follows<br />

argument and evidence, not the statement by an<br />

individual, who is inevitably affected by context<br />

and imperfection”.<br />

每 個 人 的 說 詞 會 受 到 個 人 背 景 和 缺 陷 所 影 響 , 探<br />

真 者 未 必 要 學 自 古 人 , 而 是 要 根 據 論 辯 與 事 實 。<br />

--- Ibn Al Haytham, (965–c.1040)<br />

Al Shukuk Fi Batlaymous<br />
