Goethe and the Evolution of Science
نویسنده
چکیده
This article is based on a talk Craig gave in October 2013 at the New York Academy of Sciences. The talk was sponsored by the Lyceum Society within the Academy, a group consisting mainly of semi-retired and retired scientists who invite guest speakers to speak about topics of interest. About 35 scientists attended Craig’s talk, which was followed by a lively question and answer session. Clearly, there was a keen interest in learning more about Goethe and the relevance of his approach for modern science.
