The Wholeness of Nature : Goethe's Way Toward a Science of Conscious
Participation in Nature [Paperback]

"Book Description
ISBN-10: 0940262797 | ISBN-13: 978-0940262799 | Publication Date:
November 1, 1996 | Edition: 1st
Whereas most readers are familiar with Goethe as a poet and dramatist,
few are familiar with his scientific work. In this brilliant book,
Henri Bortoft (who began his studies of Goethean science with J. G.
Bennett and David Bohm) introduces the fascinating scientific theories
of Goethe. He succeeds in showing that Goethe's way of doing science
was not a poet's folly but a genuine alternative to the dominant
scientific paradigm. Bortoft shows that a different, "gentler" kind of
empiricism is possible than that demanded by the dualizing mind of
modern technological science and demonstrates that Goethe's
participatory phenomenology of a new way of seeing-while far from
being a historical curiosity-in fact proposes a practical solution to
the dilemmas of contemporary, postmodern science. If you read only one
book on Goethan science, this should be the one!"
