Though best known for his superlative poetry and plays, Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) also produced a sizable body of
scientific work that focused on such diverse topics as plants,
color, clouds, weather, and geology. Goethe's way of science is
highly unusual because it seeks to draw together the intuitive
awareness of art with the rigorous observation and thinking of
science. Written by major scholars and practitioners of Goethean
science today, this book considers the philosophical foundations of
Goethe's approach and applies the method to the real world of
nature, including studies of plants, animals, and the movement of
water.
Part I discusses the philosophical foundations of the approach
and clarifies its epistemology and methodology; Part II applies the
method to the real world of nature; and Part III examines the
future of Goethean science and emphasizes its great value for
better understanding and caring for the natural environment.
