Abstract
Having to deal with just one problem out of the vast spectrum of Goethe’s works, of which those concerning the natural sciences represent again only a small part, calls for some explanation.
Translated from the German by Frauke von der Horst, with the financial assistance of the Goethe Institute, San Francisco. Originally presented at the symposium ‘Goethe as a Scientist’ held at the University of California at Los Angeles and the California Institute of Technology, 12–13 April 1982, and initially published in the Journal of Social and Biological Structures 7 (1984) 307–324; 345–356. It appears with the kind permission of the editors of JSBS.
