Scientists grant that the topic of the change in plants is a cycle of life. These ideas Goethe had towards nature threw off the comprehension capabilities of other scientists. The writer of the Introduction to Goethe was studying how the metamorphosis of the plants was Goethe’s greatest discovery and how other scientists did not agree with Goethe. “Indeed supersensible archetypes or objectives ideas in nature are not things recognized by mainstream modern science” (Goethe, 23). Overall, scientists and other logic seekers and users of the world do not recognize nature as science. Although scientists study changes of more seemingly important fields the method Goethe uses is intriguingly more important than the method of the other scientists. Metamorphosis is an exquisite field of
