Abstract

In 1790 Goethe published his study on The Metamorphosis of Plants, 123 sections divided into an introduction and eight chapters. None of Goethe's other writings on natural science approaches the inner unity and intellectual scope of this treatise, with which only the Theory of Color can compare.
