5.0 out of 5 stars
wonderful little book on Goethean science,
By
This review is from: Goethe on Science (Paperback)
A wonderful little book maybe to accompany the far more developed one by Henri Bortoft, "The Wholeness of Nature". It takes many excerpts from Goethe's approach to science and includes some of his major essays in the area. If you want a starter in this subject buy it if you want real understanding in depth get Bortoft's book. The book considers many aspects such plant metamorphosis, colour theory, the concept of the archetype and even some of Goethe's own thoughts on the philosophy of science. There are even pieces which I've seen nowhere else such as the eras of science, merely pointed out but not elaborated upon. In this way the book grabs your attention and doesn't let go, it was my second introduction after Bortoft's having been recommended by him and it is well worth it.

This review is from: Goethe on Science (Paperback)
Today there is a urgent need to revise Science. Goethe's writings on Science give us a useful basis to start this renovation.
