Goethe's Critique of Newton: A Reconsideration
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 16 (4):315 (1984)
Abstract
The masses may concede that someone has talent where he has displayed a certain industry and fortune has not been unkind to him; but if he tries to enter another field and diversify his abilities, he appears to damage the claim he once had on public opinion, and therefore his efforts in a new realm are seldom accepted with favor and good will.My notes
