- W95808224 abstract "The manysidedness of Goethe's intellectual achievements makes it imperative to adhere very strictly to a preconceived plan of enquiry in order not to get lost in the labyrinth of his spheres of interests. A general survey of Goethe's work and thought shows that the threads leading from him to the focal points of his enquiries are almost inextricable, and his work in the various fields is interconnected to an unbelievable degree. The danger of being sidetracked into dealing with a related sphere is, thus, very high and has to be avoided. In our case, the most tempting confusion would be that of Goethe the Politician and Goethe the Diplomat. The latter was an official whose activities are of rather limited interest and whose actions were very often dictated more by pressing external needs than by his own convictions. That was the Minister of Weimar. The former, however, is the thinker to whom politics is a bundle of intellectual problems of general validity affecting reality. That is the Goethe of our enquiry. Another difficulty to be overcome is the apparent contradiction of many of the views he held in successive periods of his life. One can either stress the differences to bring out the sharpest distinction between the various periods, or attempt to find the thread connecting Goethe's ideas through all periods, from his early days to his death, thus smoothing out the differences. The temptation to collect Goethe's views on one particular problem throughout his life is difficult to withstand. The crowning success would be attained if it could be shown that all the differences which seem so striking if this method is applied, level themselves out, and that there is a common factor in the ideas of his youth, manhood and old age. This method, however, cannot be easily adopted: the means generally at our disposal forbid it. This is, however, Wilhelm Mommsen's way of research in his extremely valuable book Die Politischen Anschauungen Goethes (Stuttgart, 1948) which beside others indicated in connection with quotations will be used, particularly for not readily available passages from Goethe's works and conversations. (Mommsen, by the way, succeeded admirably in silhouetting the periods in Goethe's life" @default.
