Materia e metamorfosi. A partire dalla morfologia goethiana

Abstract

Goethe’s fundamental principle of his morphology, according to which what is must also show itself, allows a phenomenogical reading of his ontology, which considers reality in a plastic way as something which is always subject to continuous metamorphosis. The essay aims at elucidating Goethe’s perspective as concerns the relationships between form and matter as essential principles of nature. At the same time, the essay focus on some epistemological problems which arise from Goethe’s morphological conception.
