A scientist as well as the writer he is known for, Goethe (1749-1832) repeated Isaac Newton's experiment showing that sunlight is made of many colors, but never got the same result that Newton did. Duck and Petry argue that the origin of his refusal to accept the theory was not psychological as is commonly supposed, but theological, stemming from his pantheistic belief in the spiritual nature of light, which he believed rendered it unknowable and not open to analysis. They translate his Enthüllung Der Theorie Newtons with annotations identifying problems encountered translating Newton's Opticks into German and Enthülung into English.
