    Goethe's original approach to science
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 18, 2009*

Goethe was not only a brilliant writer; he was probably one of the most original men of his time. Those of you who had read Werther or Faust will now know, because of this book, another of the not-so-well facets of Goethe, which was his passion for science. In this book, which is part of a reflection he had while travelling through Italy (trying to find, among other things, love) and while looking at some flowers in an Italian garden, he had the brilliant idea that a flower is a modified leaf. This becomes part of one of his most interesting ideas about development, which is the evolution of the forms, or the idea that forms are essential to understand plant and animal development. Some of these ideas, which modern plant science has recently demonstrated, are reflected in this book, which was a much needed and serious translation from his original German assay. It is also accompanied by very descriptive and beautiful images representing those flowers he mentions in his book and is also edited in an old style which makes it very appealing. I would say it is a book that is a pleasure to read and to keep!

    This is a Real Book...
  

*by P***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2012*

I have a hard cover copy of this book, even in the age of pdf and kindle.It is the kind of book that you want to own - it is elegant, well bound, and filled with dazzling displays of art.Goethe goes inside of the plant from seed to death and makes us feel the process as if we were the Kantian "Noumena" or thing-in-itself, in this case, the vegetative life-process.As a gardener, my experience is truly uplifted into the sublime as I feel this process, and assume that Goethe was basically saying what all tillers of the soil, even back to Hesiod, felt when witnessing the recurring cycles of vegetation.I only wish I had been taught science this way instead of the drab, Linnaeus-inspired taxonomy as an endless series of lists of Latin names.The Goethean way is the true way to experience nature: magically, yet without priestcraft and superstition. Scientific, yet sublime.

    Best book I’ve ever read about plants
  

*by D***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 17, 2020*

Read the Kindle version and was easy because of small numbered verses and short length of book. Use this personally as a meditation for how plants develop I try to visualize the process and compare various plants in my mind
