Observation Reconstructs the Real

A scientific observation is always a committed observation; it confirms or denies one's preconceptions; one's first ideas, one's plan of observation; it shows by demonstration; it structures the phenomena; it transcends what is close at hand; it reconstructs the real after having reconstructed its representation.

Notes:

...after hypothesis as reconstructed its repreentation.
