From an early age Goethe sought to act in all his actions in accord with one and the same spiritual feeling.

From an early age Goethe sought to act in all his actions in accord with one and the same spiritual feeling. In this way he came to believe that all of his actions in relation to the legacy of culture about him were essentially identical and thus that this feeling was universal, the governing power of everyone's creative life. Over time he formulated the belief that this empowering feeling was the divine being, uniting all of mankind in constituting an ideal world of culture. Given the extent of Goethe's assimilation of the culture of his times - Pietism, Herder, the storm and stress movement, its cult of the genius, his morphological, archetypal understanding of nature in the fields of anatomy, botany, mineralogy and optics, the enlightenment and humanism, the Western traditions of both realism and idealism, in particular, the philosophies of German idealism, the beliefs of Lessing, Kant and Schiller, the Jena romantics and their ideal of a world of literature, among other influences - his philosophy represents a refashioning of traditional religious and philosophical belief uniquely meaningful to the cultural circumstances of the present day world.
