		Goethe’s poetry expresses a modern view of humanity’s relationship to nature, history, and society; his plays and novels reflect a profound understanding of human individuality.
		Goethe’s importance can be judged by the influence of his critical writings, his vast correspondence, and his poetry, dramas, and novels upon the writers of his own time and upon the literary movements which he inaugurated and of which he was the chief figure.
		Herder also taught Goethe to appreciate the plays of Shakespeare, in which the classic unities are largely discarded for the sake of direct emotional expression; and to realize the value of German folk poetry and German Gothic architecture as sources of inspiration for German literature.

		Goethes life in Frankfort was a round of stimulating literary intercourse; in J. Merck (1741-1191), an army official in the neighboring town of Darmstadt, he found a friend and mentor, whose irony and common-sense served as a corrective to his own exuberance of spirits.
		Goethes hero changed with the authors riper experience and with his new conceptions of mans place and duties in the world, but the Gretchen tragedy was taken over into the finished poem, practically unaltered, from the earliest Faust of the Sturm und Drang.

	Physics Today July 2002
		Goethe's experimental procedure comprised two stages: an analytic one that moved from complex appearances through simpler ones to a first principle, and a synthetic stage that moved in reverse order, showing how more complex appearances are related to the first principle.
		For example, Goethe's experiments with fl and white rectangles showed that the Newtonian and complementary spectra (see the prism views of figures 2c and d) were generated when the colored fringes from two closely spaced fl-white boundaries encountered each other: The yellow and blue fringes mixed to produce green; the red and violet produced magenta.
		Goethe regarded that mixing as the true explanation of Newton's observation that a red square, viewed through a prism against a fl background, appears displaced slightly higher than a blue one, as seen in the upper right of figure 3.

		It is difficult to know where to place Goethe: he was a German writer, the leader of the German Romantic movement; he was a philosopher; but, foremost, he was a scientist; and, so, I place him here, in these pages, amongst the other classic scientists.
		As a scientist, Goethe carried on extensive research, especially in plant biology and in optics writing "On the Theory Colors, 1810." Goethe looked at things in a different manner, different than those thinkers up to his time; "he always attempted to see the individual phenomenon as part of an organic, developing whole..." (
		Every insect, every leaf has something to say." [Crabb Robinson's diary.]) Goethe's poetic works are characterized by an interest in the natural, organic development of things, rather than in any idealistic schemes."
