At the young age of twenty-one, Rudolf Steiner was chosen to edit
Goethe's scientific writings for the principle Goethe edition of
his time. Goethe's literary genius was universally acknowledged; it
was Steiner's task to understand and comment on Goethe's scientific
achievements. Steiner recognized the significance of Goethe's work
with nature and his epistemology, and here began Steiner's own
training in epistemology and spiritual science. This collection of
Steiner's introductions to Goethe's works re-visions the meaning of
knowledge and how we attain it. Goethe had discovered how thinking
could be applied to organic nature and that this experience
requires not just rational concepts but a whole new way of
perceiving. In an age when science and technology have been linked
to great catastrophes, many are looking for new ways to interact
with nature. With a fundamental declaration of the interpenetration
of our consciousness and the world around us, Steiner shows how
Goethe's approach points the way to a more compassionate and
intimate involvement with nature.
