Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Goethe as a Representative of the Modern Art Spirit: Published for the "Dante School of Philosophy," St. Louis, Mo At the same time, during the period of his youth, there was a veritable confusion of tongues in Germany respecting the proper standard of work and achievement in art. And this was, as might be expected, especially true of poetry - the most complex of all the forms of art and, as it proved, the form in which Goethe was to unfold his finest powers. Safely out of this confusion of tongues he was to be led by the clear voice of the greatest of English singers. Other influences there were indeed, but this was the greatest of all for him. Under the influence of Shakespeare, Goethe became perfectly clear that the heart, the very soul of a great poem, as of any other work of art, must be a great theme; so that the poem itself is but a living idea spontaneously unfolded into a rhythmic organic form. It is in this relation between these two great poets that I find the clue to what I shall have to say to you at the present time. Goethe himself makes explicit reference to the dependence of the individual upon the characteristics of his own time, and declares it to be inconceivable that one should be the same individual had he been born ten years earlier or ten years later. Applying this principle to the case of Shakespeare, an acute critic has remarked that the preeminence of this poet over all others is to be explained, not merely by his transcendent genius, but also by the altogether unique conditions of the mental and moral life of his time. Within the century a new world had Opened up for exploration and conquest. Everywhere new hopes had been awakened and the intellectual life quickened. Through this process the untitled man had given abundant evidence of his worth; so that there was emerging into ever clearer view a title likely to prove superior to all others - manhood for it: own sake. To this class without titles, but creating for itself a new title, the writers as well as the performers of dramas belonged. The great world itself had become a most fascinating stage, and men and women, without distinction of rank, had proven to be players of most extraordinary parts upon this stage.

Download or read book Goethe s Poetry and the Philosophy of Nature written by Regina Sachers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the nineteenth century, philosophy and theology come under increasing pressure owing to the emergence of the modern sciences. The collection Gott und Welt is Goethe's poetic contribution to this conflict, in which an alternative to orthodox Christianity was being sought. Following the collection's various stages of composition and publication, this study offers new readings of some of Goethe's best known poems: 'Die Metamorphose der Pflanzen', 'Dauer im Wechsel', 'Urworte. Orphisch' and 'Wiederfinden'. Sachers shows that Gott und Welt is the long poem on nature which Goethe attempted to write for the last third of his life. As such it represents Goethe's unique answers to the intellectual challenges posed by the dawning age of science. Regina Sachers is Lecturer in German at Exeter College, Oxford.

Download or read book Goethe and Palladio written by David Lowe and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poet, dramatist, novelist, and scientist, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe had to wait many years before he was able to travel south to Italy, "the land where the lemon trees bloom." He had gained success in several fields, but he had a sense of being trapped and confined and felt a need for light. Italy would give this to him in a number of ways. Taking as their basis Goethe's Italian Journey, the authors of this fascinating and unusual study explore how Goethe's experience of Palladio's architecture influenced his view of the relationship between art and nature in general and, in particular, helped him form his understanding of metamorphosis, leading to his discovery of the "archetypal plant." In his carefully written account of his travels, Goethe seems to oscillate between experiences of architecture and experiences of nature. In nature, he searched for the "archetypal plant," the essential form whose metamorphosis through time would produce the plant we see in its cycle from seed to fruit. In the art and architecture of antiquity and in Palladio's classical reformulation of it, he tried to understand the purpose and function of artistic creation. Until now, no one has put these two together. David Lowe and Simon Sharp show for the first time how these seemingly unrelated subjects are related--how the living geometries and volumes of harmoniously proportioned buildings, the "great idea" of architecture, can lead to the intuition of similar principles in nature. David Lowe and Simon Sharp have worked together for twenty-one years. One of their first projects was the recreation of Goethe's Italian Journey. They have given numerous workshops and presentations on the subject in the U.S. and U.K., including The British Museum, the German Embassy, and the Edinburgh Festival. This is must-reading for anyone interested in Goethe's ideas on plants and metamorphosis.

Book excerpt: Goethe's ideas on colour and imagery crossed many border-lines: those of artistic processes and philosophical aesthetics, art history and colour theory, together with the science of perception. This investigation into his writings ranges across art from Antiquity, the Renaissance and the eighteenth century, as well as exploring the centrality of these issues to Goethe's literary work. Questions find answers, but also raise new questions. This systematic sequence of essays, originally written between 1999 and 2012, appeals to readers in all these separate areas, while drawing together their essential coherence. Book jacket.

Download or read book Goethe s Science of Living Form written by Nigel Hoffmann and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, Nigel Hoffmann shows that understanding the dynamic, living qualities of nature requires artistic capacities. He distinguishes four stages of scientific inquiry that correspond to the four classical elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Modern analytical science with its causal thinking can be characterized as an Earth mode of cognition. A dynamic approach that follows transformation over time requires a sculptural sense of form and corresponds to the element of Water. The stages of Air and Fire engage yet more vital aspects of nature through musical and poetic capacities. Combining scholarly-scientific acuity with artistic insight, Hoffmann first characterizes these four different ways of knowing. He then applies them, leading us ever more deeply into the dynamic qualities of specific plants, animals, and the landscape they live in. In doing so, he demonstrates how this four-step methodology provides a comprehensive framework for the life sciences. This beautifully illustrated book will appeal to all who are interested in gaining deeper insights into nature. "I put my hopes for the future in such practice because it plants seeds of a life-attuned thinking into the world that can help us to act in more life-engendering ways." --Craig Holdrege (in his foreword) Contents: Art and the Emergence of an Authentic Organic Science Goethe and the Phenomenological Method Toward an Authentic Method in the Life Sciences A Goethean Methodology through the Elemental Modes Earth Cognition--Physical Thinking--the Mechanical Water Cognition -- Imagination -- the Sculptural Air Cognition -- Inspiration -- the Musical Fire Cognition -- Intuition -- the Poetical Evolution as Creative Process The Landscape and its Organs The Human Being and the Evolution of Landscape The Yabby Ponds: A Goethean Study of Place

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1981 book is concerned with the part which the visual arts played in Goethe's life and thought from his earliest years to the end of his visit to Italy. Among his multifarious preoccupations this interest in the visual arts was one of the most urgent and consistent. The extent of his preoccupation with the practice of the visual arts has been underestimated by scholars and this book is intended to do something to redress the balance. The book is best described as a kind of artistic biography, tracing chronologically the poet's development, as far as the visual arts are concerned, from his childhood in Frankfurt to the aesthetically decisive experience of Italy. The book should be of interest both to students of German literature and to students of the history of art. With this in mind the quotations from German have been translated into English throughout.
