O objetivo deste trabalho é promover um cotejamento entre as idéias estéticas e científicas de Goethe compreendidas entre o período do Sturm und Drang e o primeiro Classicismo (Frühklassik). Através dessa comparação é delineada a importância que a inter-relação entre arte e ciência desempenhou no desenvolvimento dos conceitos goethianos relativos a essas duas áreas de sua produção.

Nature is the starting point of Goethe in relation to science and art He feels united to the spirit of the creator from the moment he is involved with the natural and the perception of the presence of the divine in nature. When Goethe discovered his creative and intellectual capacities, he used them to create new forms and to further understand the world. Nature in its constant process of transformation gives rise to the creation of an art under the sign of metamorphosis, whose laws Goethe presents as Polarity (Polariãt) and Intensification (Steigerung). The art presented by Goethe is not a copy of nature as a simple formal element, but the reflection of the representation of nature's own laws. Thus both science and art integrate with each other and, consequently, they become interdependent. The art of Goethe is constructed from the dialogue between the world and the use of its capacity to create elaborating new forms; therefore, respecting the same laws which originate the natural world. This study presents the formation of goethian's organic poiesis created by the dialogue between art and science.
