Description

Theory of Colours by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a foundational work that explores the nature of colour and its relationship to human perception. Written in 1810, this book presents Goethe's subjective theory of colours, which was ahead of its time and has since been largely superseded by scientific understanding. Goethe's approach to colour is based on his extensive personal observation of the phenomena of colour, rather than on physical principles. His conclusions are both provocative and thought-provoking, offering insights into early nineteenth-century beliefs and modes of thought. The book also provides a unique perspective on colour harmony and aesthetics, which may evoke a positive response in some readers. This edition of Theory of Colours is published by MIT Press and features 423 pages in paperback format.
