English Issue 46/2024

Goethe says that we struggle in vain to describe the inner nature of things—it is only through our devoted observation of its many deeds and effects, that the essence of something can shine through. For Goethean scientists, this requires both inner and outer research. Steiner also emphasized the importance of Goethean-inspired science for social renewal—an open question that is carried in the minds and hearts of Goethean practitioners. The Natural Science Section’s Evolving Science 2024 conference was a genuine Goetheanistic experiment! Did something shine through in the diversity of its content and the many social encounters? This issue offers you an impression of the varied themes and activities that brought the essence to light.
