Newton, Goethe, Schopenhauer, Colors, Quantity and qualityAbstract
This paper intends to trace a panorama of the relations between the observations of Newton, Goethe and Schopenhauer on colors, and to situate them in the history of thought on the subject. To that end, we take as a philosophical leitmotif of our analysis the relation between quantity and quality, which is represented in different ways within the works of these authors regarding the theory of color.Downloads
