Review of 'The wholeness of nature' on Goodreads

4 stars

Rethink scientific knowledge and the role of perception and organizing ideas vs experiment and theory, in light of Goethe's universalizing approach to seeing unity/wholeness in the diversity of nature and phenomena. Somewhere between Feyerabend's Against Method and Manzotti's Spread Mind.
