He proposes great expectations, I wish I could live up to these.

Yes, he had an empathic and participatory / cooperative theory of science. I was reading some of his philosophy of science earlier tonight in fact. I think it's rather revolutionary scientific paradigm which is more necessary now than ever.

Goethe was an amazing individual. But he'd be appalled by the morality and small mindedness of Objectivism.

"But he'd be appalled by the morality and small mindedness of Objectivism."
And I, in turn, am appalled by his approach to knowledge acquisition, among other intellectual issues. But that doesn't mean he never said anything brilliant.

Spazz, he fancied himself a scientist, and the way he studied light was by subjectively studying his visual system. He hated Newton because of his scientific approach. Goethe called experimentation a process of prying information out of Nature using levers and screws (an obvious reference to torture instruments).
