German philosopher, Fries, stated that if scientific statements are not to be accepted dogmatically, they must be justified by reasoned argument leading to a "predilection for proofs." Faced with the trilemma of infinite regress, dogmatism or psychologism, he embraces psychologism in his adherence to the value of immediate knowledge gained from the sense-experience. This experience is then mediated through symbols of language into scientific statements.
