About this book
Man or Matter introduces a spiritual understanding of nature on the basis of Goethe's method of training observation and thought. The contents describe the author's search for a way to extend scientific understanding and a meeting with Rudolf Steiner and the work arising from his teachings. The discussion quotes A. N. Whitehead's insistence that science must become philosophical and criticize its own foundations if it is not to degenerate into ad hoc hypotheses.
The text characterizes the identification of lightning with an electric spark as a confusion between nature's upper and lower boundaries, characteristic of the onlooker-consciousness. The account of sound distinguishes perception through the ear as direct experience from perception through the eye as mechanical movements.
