Mehmet Murat IldanAmicus scientia est amicus Deus: Friend of science is the friend of God!
About This Quote
The Latin phrase amicus scientia est amicus Dei means “friend of science is the friend of God” or “Friendship based on science is the friendship of God.” The concept derives from Roman philosophy, which held that there were three kinds of friendship: affective, intellectual, and practical. Affective friendship involves being fond of someone for who they are as a person. Intellectual friendship involves being able to discuss ideas without being too close to someone. Practical friendship involves doing things together.
