Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Goethe: With Special Consideration of His Philosophy Goethe, the man, the poet, and the author, has been described over and over. His works have been translated, interpreted, discussed, and it seems almost redundant to return to him again. And yet we venture to offer a book on Goethe. Certain very important phases in Goethe´s life appear to have been neglected. Most of his greatest works have been translated into English, a few of them, for instance "Faust," in many different versions, but there are some of his most characteristic poems of which no one has ever ventured to off er a translation, and it is precisely these poems that contain the most thoughtful verses ever written by this great poet, prominent in the literature not only of the German fatherland but of the whole world. We offer this presentation of Goethe with the special purpose in view of bringing out those features of his life which characterize him as a thinker or, perhaps better, as a philosopher. Though Goethe can not be called a philosopher proper, though he had a positive aversion to philosophy as a specialized study, he may fairly well be called a philosopher in the broad sense of the term. He was a thinking man who had a definite world-conception which dominated not only his particular life but also his poetry. Some of the philosophical poems of Goethe are rather difficult to understand and have therefore not become as well known as those other poems of his which were written in a lighter vein. Nevertheless they are by no means unintelligible to the general reader and possess the advantage of becoming more interesting as soon as their real significance has been grasped.
