English commentary: "As a philosopher of science, Goethe progresses through three phases, which one might call Realist, Idealist, and Romantic. The major influence in the first phase is Spinoza as interpreted by Herder; in the second, Fichte. In the third phase, Goethe develops an original epistemology that might be termed a kind of gesteigerter Spinozismus" (p. 35).
