Description: Goethe is a significant figure in the history of science. His search to develop a rigorous and empirical approach to the study of qualities represents an important complement to quantitative methods. His scientific writings have inspired an unbroken research tradition, a «Goethean paradigm», that continues to this day. Volumes I and II of Goethe in the History of Science provide a comprehensive bibliography of primary and secondary literature on Goethe's scientific writings and of the original scientific work that constitutes the alternative paradigm.
