Goethean Science
http://www.island.org/prescience/goethe.html
Goethe is to the German speaking world as Shakespeare is to the English
speaking world. "Goethe was best known as a poet and playwright.
His contributions to science, however, were far reaching. Goethe's
extensive
research in colour, plant development, morphology and embryology,
breathed
life into our scientific knowledge. Most influential of all has been
his
particular 'way of doing science', which provides the tools for us to
transcend
the reductionist paradigm. Fundamental to Goethe's approach to science,
and in contrast to the mechanistic doctrine, is his insistence that the
scientist is not a passive observer of an external universe; that there
is no 'objective truth'. He saw the individual in a reciprocal,
participatory
relationship with nature, and valued the contribution the observer
brings
forth to the observed."
