"Rule IV. There is need of a method for finding out the truth. Rule
V. Method consists entirely in the order and disposition of the
objects toward which our mental vision must be directed if we would
find out any truth. We shall comply with it exactly if we reduce
involved and obscure propositions step be step to those that are s-
pler, and then starting with the intuitive apprehension of all
those that are absolutely simple, attempt to ascend to the
knowledge of all others by precisely similar steps. " -Rene
Descartes, Rules for the Direction of Mind ..".Perhaps he would
sooner satisfy himself by resolving light into colours as far as
may be done by Art, and then by examining the properties of those
colours apart, and afterwards by trying the effects of reconjoyning
two or more or all of those, and lastly by separating them again to
examine what changes that reconjunction had wrought in them. This
will prove a tedious and difficult task to do it as it ought to be
done but I could not be satisfied till I had gone through it. "
-From Newton's letter, quoted in The Life of Isaac Newton by
Richard Westfall. Cambridge University Press, 1993.
