Future directions in quantitative pathology: digital knowledge in diagnostic pathology

摘要

Immanuel Kant defined intrinsic limits to our ability to perceive reality. But he wrote a lifetime before Darwin and thus made no allowance for the power of evolution. Ironi- cally, it was Konrad Lorenz, the renowned etholoist and his successor to the chair of philosophy at the Univesity of Koenigsberg 100 years later, who pointed to biological evo- lution and the ensuing ability to form novel concepts as the key to gains in perception and understanding of the real world.
