Goethes Weltanschauung, written by Rudolf Steiner and first published in 1897, is a philosophical examination of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's worldview, focusing on his insights into nature and artistic expression. Steiner argues that true knowledge emerges from the interplay between observation and the mind, emphasizing the importance of personal engagement with Goethe's ideas. This work serves as a foundational text for understanding Steiner's later contributions to anthroposophy and spiritual science, highlighting the necessity of transcending sensory perception to achieve deeper insight. The book is a translation of Steiner's earlier work, Grundlinien einer Erkenntnistheorie der Goetheschen Weltanschauung.
