The Theory of Knowledge Implicit in Goethe’s World Conception
Fundamental Outlines with Specific Reference to Schiller
By Rudolf Steiner
Translated by Olin D. Wannamaker
On-line since: 30th November, 2012
This book first appeared in 1886. In it, Steiner approaches the epistemological question, “How Does One Know?” His point of departure is the more-or-less unexpressed epistemology of Goethe in his scientific writings and elsewhere. This is a good introduction to Goethe’s methodology.
