Goethe on Science: An Anthology of Goethe's Scientific Writings - Jeremy Naydler

Descriere Goethe on Science: An Anthology of Goethe's Scientific Writings - Jeremy Naydler

\n \nJohann Wolfgang von Goethe is most famous for his work on color theory, but he was also an accomplished all-round scientist, studying and writing on anatomy, geology, botany, zoology and meteorology. This book draws together, in Goethe's own words, his key ideas on nature, science and scientific method.\n \nGoethe believed that we should study our world and nature as people at home in it, rather than removedly, as if we were aliens from another planet. He adopted a qualitative approach to science at odds with Newton's quantitative methods that were so popular in his day. His is a sensitive science which does not ignore our relationship to nature.\n \nThe extracts in this book are fascinating and essential reading for anyone who feels that we've lost our spiritual connection to nature.\n
