"Neither osteopathy nor surgery, let alone dentistry would have got very far by ignoring it (the organic approach)...They are directly related to mental operations, which are developed in the philosophy of Phenomenology, itself a post-Cartesian outlook. Relating this method to current philosophy of science it (osteopathy) cannot be judged in any way less powerful than Cartesian science, for while the latter has no verification procedure, relying upon falsification alone, Goethean science entails both falsification and verification, and thus might even be said to be more complete than Cartesian. Again, the only real problem with this approach is the fact that very few know if its existence."
