"""Bortoft shows how the contemporary impulse for a participatory science can be realized. What's more, the book is beautifully written."" --Brian Goodwin, author of How the Leopard Changed Its Spots ""Henri Bortoft offers us, here, a precise and much-needed guide to Goethe's scientific imagination."" --David Abram, author, Spell of the Sensuous ""If I were asked to recommend one book on Goethe's contributions to natural science and philosophy, it would be this book."" --Evan Thompson, coauthor, The Embodied Mind ""This is a gem of a book. Bortoft has made Goethe's thinking available in a particularly clear way. He has brought Goethe up-to-date, showing how relevant his thinking is for a post-quantum world. Goethe's method, in fact, could well point toward a new direction in science--to the science of the 21st century.""--David Peat, author, Synchronicity: The Bridge between Matter and Mind"
