In meiner Argumentation werden wissen-schaftshistorische und wissenschafts-philosophische Überlegungen ineinander greifen. Im ersten Abschnitt werde ich einige Beispiele aus der experimentellen Praxis bei Newton und Goethe skizzieren. Über die Einzelfälle hinausweisend, finden sich hier Charakteristika allgemeinerer Experimentierweisen. Diese zu explizieren, ist das Ziel des zweiten Teiles. Im dritten Abschnitt schließlich werde ich auf einen genuin historischen Punkt zurückkommen. Goethes Experimentierweise verweist auf eine bestimmte Erkenntnissituation, und auf diesem Wege auf eine historische Tradition der Farbenforschung, die der historischen Aufmerksamkeit bislang mehr oder weniger entgangen ist. Unter solchen Perspektiven erscheinen Goethes Arbeiten in einem neuen und angemesseneren Licht. DAS EXPERIMENT BEI NEWTON UND GOETHE . Um die Spezifika von Goethes Arbeitsweise deutlich zu machen, werde ich zunächst, gewissermaßen als Kontrastfolie, den Typ von Experimenten charakterisieren, den Goethe in dem von ihm so heftig kritisierten optischen Arbeiten Newtons vorfand. Newtons erster Aufsatz zu Licht und Farben, 1672. In seiner ersten Veröffentlichung zur Licht- und Farbentheorie, dem berühmten Brief an die Royal Society vom Februar 1672, stellte der 28-jährige und noch unbekannte Isaac Newton ein einzelnes Experiment in den Mittelpunkt (Abb. l). In einen verdunkelten Raum fiel durch ein Loch im Fensterladen Sonnenlicht. Knapp hinter dieser Öffnung plazierte Newton ein Prisma und ließ das gebrochene Licht auf die gegenüberliegende Wand fallen. Der Lichtfleck, das "Spektrum" oder Gespenst, wie Newton es nannte, erwies sich als farbig, wie es schon vor Newton beobachtet worden war. … (Seite 2)

In 8, pp. (12) + 123 + (1b) con diagrammi n.t. Legatura in cart. di fine XVIII sec. Rarissima ediz. orig. di questo importante trattato sul moto dei mari e dei venti dell'erudito ugonotto olandese Isaac Voss (Leida, 1618-Londra, 1689). A seguito della crescente importanza dei commerci marittimi e delle esplorazioni via mare, cominciarono ad essere studiate le cause delle maree. Voss respinge l'influenza della luna e delle stelle, sostenendo che e' il calore del sole a generare venti, maree e correnti oceaniche. Attribuisce infatti al riscaldamento solare l'aumento del livello del mare nella regione equatoriale con la conseguente formazione di maree e correnti. In maniera corretta sostiene che la circolazione del Nord Atlantico sia in senso orario. Il testo include riferimenti a vari luoghi del Nord e Sud America, fra i quali California, Florida, Virginia. Vossel, nel 1649, si trasferi' a Stoccolma, dove divenne bibliotecario ed insegnante di greco di Cristina di Svezia. Poi ando' in Inghilterra dove rimase fino alla morte. Qui fu canonico dei Windsor. Appassionato collezionista di libri ed egli stesso autore di opere di svariato genere (letteratura classica, geografia, cronologia biblica), lascio' alla morte una fra le piu' grandi biblioteche private del mondo. Sotheram, 5133.
