Scientific Studies (Goethe: The Collected Works, Vol. 12)

Goethes scientific work is less familiar to the reading public than his poetry yet his understanding of natural phenomena displays the same sensitivity and brilliance as his depictions of human relationships. Based on Goethes research in anatomy botany physics chemistry zoology meteorology and geology these forty selections call upon scientists to devlop their perceptions both inwardly and outwardly in pursuing the continuum of nature through an interconnected and living world.
