  Faust, Part 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faust, Part 2 is a closet drama which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe finished writing in 1832, the year of his death.
In contrast to Faust Part 1, the focus here is no longer on the soul of Faust, which has been sold to the devil, but rather on social phenomena such as psychology, history and politics.
Rich in classical allusion, in Faust, Part 2, the romantic story of the first Faust is forgotten, and Faust wakes in a field of fairies to initiate a new cycle of adventures and purpose.

Faust, passionately committed to the pursuit of reason and science, also wants to be care-free, that is, free of the disturbing anxieties of care that the pursuit of his goals would entail in working with ordinary human resources.
Faust's experience of a new and very satisfying solicitude (the greatest moment of his life) is represented by his vision of millions of free people living in comfort and freedom on an earth that has been reconciled with itself through human effort.
For Erikson, part of the ethics of care involves the struggle between the willingness to embrace persons or groups in one's generative concerns (a sympathic strength, which is the virtue of care) and the unwillingness to include specified persons or groups in one's generative concern (an antipathic inclination, which Erikson calls rejectivity).

 Mystical World Wide Web - Faust
Ironically the relatively obscure Faust came to be remembered in legend as the representative of an age which produced such occultists as Paracelsus and Nostradamus.
Faust owes his enduring notoriety to the anonymous author of the first 'Faustbuch', a collection of tales of the 'Magi' (wise men skilled in science and the occult) which had been told since the Middle Ages and featured such renowned 'wizards' as Merlin, Albertus Magnus and Roger Bacon.
His 'Faust' (part 1, 1808; part 2 1832) made of the story a profoundly serious yet highly ironical commentary on the diverse potentialities of Western society's cultural heritage.

And since David Quinn based his story, however loosely, on the Faust myth I also went to the most definitive source of the myth which is Goethe's Faust play and tried to understand David's work in light of Goethe's.
In Goethe's version Faust is an old man at the end of his life who has achieved great success in all fields, and at the end he finds himself thinking that life is meaningless and he doesn't care about anything.
In order to develop this clearer, and to address the element in the comic where Faust is sometimes not in the suit but still has a distorted madman type face, we had a halfway stage for the Faust makeup.

 Naturalism Is an Essential Part of Science
Philosophical naturalism is also the key part of naturalistic humanism, without question the most important personal worldview or philosophy of life that exists as an alternative to the planet's many supernaturalistic, transcendental religions and religious philosophies.
Naturalism is not an assumption or presupposition on the part of scientists, a common claim by critics of science; it is, instead, a hypothesis that has been tested and repeatedly corroborated, and so has become reliable knowledge itself.
As methodological naturalism became a necessary part of science, it simultaneously became a necessary part of critical inquiry, since as I emphasized earlier, scientific method is not an esoteric method of inquiry, but only the rigorous, systematic application of a method continuous across many disciplines.
