On August 18, 1787, Goethe wrote to Knebel from Italy: “To judge by the plants and fish I have seen in Naples and Sicily, I would, if I were ten years younger, be very tempted to make a trip to India, not in order to discover something new, but in order to contemplate in my own way what has already been discovered .” I... | Goethean Science | Introduction | https://rsarchive.org/Books/GA001/English/MP1988/GA001_c01.html | Dornach | September 1925 | GA001_c01 |
If one traces the history of how Goethe's thoughts about the development of organisms arose, one can all too easily be come doubtful about the part one must ascribe to the early years of the poet, i.e., to the time before he went to Weimar. Goethe himself attached very little value to the natural-scientific knowledge h... | Goethean Science | How Goethe's Theory of Metamorphosis Arose | https://rsarchive.org/Books/GA001/English/MP1988/GA001_c02.html | Dornach | September 1925 | GA001_c02 |

If one is to do justice to this rightly, one must above all bear in mind the great difference... | Goethean Science | The Nature and Significance of Goethe's Writings on Organic Development | https://rsarchive.org/Books/GA001/English/MP1988/GA001_c04.html | Dornach | September 1925 | GA001_c04 |
When, at the end of this consideration of Goethe's thoughts on metamorphosis, I look back over the views that I felt compelled to express, I cannot conceal from myself the fact that a very great number of outstanding adherents of the various tendencies in scientific thought are of a different view than I.
