The doctrine of color. Goethe I.V.

Everyone knows Goethe - the great poet, playwright and writer. But this book opens it for the reader from a completely unexpected side - as an original scientist who entered into a scientific polemic with Sir Isac Newton himself!

What is color? Newton studied him from the point of view of his physical nature. Goethe is not interested in the physical, but rather the physiological side: how does a person perceive a variety of colors and what does this perception affect? Observations and its conclusions, accurate and witty, and today are of great interest.
