But to speak to Goethe's privileging of European literatures over non-European is not to ignore the rich complexity of the Goethean notion of world literature, which in a sense can be read as coinciding with some of the postcolonial thinking.

7) In Enrich my resignation: he wishes time to end, as a return to the fathers (a Goethean complementary reflex here, maybe, of the primordial "mothers" who created all of reality, as mentioned):

Or Hegel's later methodology of pure thinking set forth in The Science of Logic may not fit into Forster's Goethean framework without remainder.

Although the very first painting that visitors encountered was a portrait of Goethe (by Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein), the show in fact contradicted the Goethean attachment to concrete form as a bulwark against the reductive influence of the Idea.

Longfellow not only lectured on Goethe and interpreted Faust at Harvard but wanted to enrich the indigenous Puritan tradition with Goethean wisdom in his--never realized--plans for writing a "New England Faust" (see Durrani 405).

Philosophies new to the field (at the time) that were introduced included: Goethean phenomenological approach to environmental education based on the ideas of the German nature philosopher, Johann von Goethe (as well as Nietzsche and Heidegger) (Hoffman, 1994); a constructivist and holistic approach to teaching, termed "environmentalism/ green education" for which a set of characteristics are proposed, including a process of learning that engages students in debating values (Dyer, 1997); and the reframing of biocentric and anthropocentric worldviews as representing a continuum rather than a dichotomy (Dyer & Gunnell, 1993).

Richard Cardwell's essay focuses on Byron's influence on Jose de Espronceda; Shona Allan examines the Byronic influence (as well as the Goethean) on the German-speaking Christian Dietrich Grabbe and Nikolaus Lenau; David Herbert writes of Sophia Hyatt, who is said to have haunted Newstead Abbey from the time of her death in 1825; and Cristina Ceron writes of the differing impressions that Byron's heroes left on Emily and Charlotte Bronte's respective creations, Heathcliff and Rochester.

Such a Goethean ideal--what Montherlant called "syncretism and alternance" (syncretisme et alternance) (Aux Fontaines du desir 32)--not only accounts for the seemingly irreconcilable perspectives that Montherlant held on sport but also rationalizes the importance that he placed on aesthetics.

(39) The first section had appeared to doubt the Goethean belief that the fragments of "dead selves" might become "stepping stones" upon which to "rise ...

West criticized Du Bois only because Du Bois deserved it, not to make himself number one: "My Chekhovian Christian voice simply cuts deeper and thereby is more truthful than Du Bois's Goethean Enlightenment view that undergirded his marvelous scholarship." (49)

Their true religion was the bourgeois, Goethean ideal of Bildung (high culture).
