The scientific work of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
represents a style of learning and understanding which is largely
ignored today. The approach of modern science is largely detached,
intellectual and analytical, and it is increasingly recognized that
many of our contemporary problems stem from the resulting divorce
from nature. By contrast, Goethe's way of science pursued
understanding through the experience of the 'authentic wholeness'
of what was observed. Working with the intuitive mode of
consciousness, Goethe aimed at an encounter with the whole
phenomenon in its relationship with the observer. In his way of
seeing, rather than dividing merely in order to categorize, we
should investigate the parts of an object in order to reveal the
true nature of the whole. In this invaluable study, Henri Bortoft
examines the phenomenological and cultural roots of Goethe's ways
of science.
