Quotations: Understanding

«Capturing a process means expressing it through operations of thinking; understanding a process means seeing through the construction of these operations of thinking. If I recognize how the logical framework which expresses the process is constructed from its elements, how the parts relate to each other, how the parts are merged to form the whole, then I have at the same time also understood how the process is composed from its parts, how these build up the overall process, and how each sub-process finds its place within this.» (1961a, 112)
