From the Publisher
G ethe is a significant figure in the history of science. His search to develop a rigorous and empirical approach to the study of qualities represents an important complement to quantitative methods. His scientific writings have inspired an unbroken research tradition, a G ethean paradigm, that continues to this day. Volumes I and II of G ethe in the History of Science provide a comprehensive bibliography of primary and secondary literature on G ethe's scientific writings and of the original scientific work that constitutes the alternative paradigm. Volume III will argue G ethe's significance and narrate the history of the G ethean tradition.
