Produktbeschreibung
Analogical thinking, relations between microcosm and macrocosm, polarity and intensification, inspiration, magical, alchemistic, and magnetic/sympathetic concepts: key terms like these indicate the importance of the traditions of pansophist and holistic interpretation of the world in Goethe's literary and scientific works. Of equal significance is his engagement with 'universal wisdom' (Weltweisheit), as embodied in the philosophical and scientific tendencies of the age he lived in. The Geneva conference of the Swiss Goethe Society documented here casts light on Goethe's position in the rivalries tensions between old and new in his day.
Analogisches Denken, Mikrokosmos-Makrokosmos-Bezug, Polarität und Steigerung, ebenso Inspiration, magische, alchimistische und magnetisch-sympathetische Konzepte: solche Stichwörter zeigen die Signifikanz der Traditionen einer "pansophisch"-ganzheitlichen Weltdeutung in Goethes Naturwissenschaft und Dichtung. Gleichermaßen wirksam ist seine Auseinandersetzung mit der "Weltweisheit", den philosophisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Tendenzen der eigenen Zeit. Goethes Positionen in diesem Spannungsfeld von Alt und Neu beleuchtet die hier dokumentierte Genfer Tagung der Goethe-Gesellschaft Schweiz.
