THE PAINTING: The School of Athens: The dynamic interplay between science and practical application is portrayed in this painting by Raphael.While the figure representing Plato points upward, indicating the primacy of science and knowledge, the figure representing Aristotle points downward, arguing that the practical application of science is supreme. At the Institute for Systemic Medicine and Dentistry, we believe that a greater value can be achieved by the proper combination the two. Consequently, the Institute has developed a revolutionary methodology which allows a new theory [scientia] to be incorporated into a practical model [potentia] for clinical application.
