Description

Bernhard Kuhn's groundbreaking study examines the intersection of autobiography and natural science through the lives and works of Rousseau, Goethe, and Thoreau. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work challenges the modern separation of science and literature by demonstrating how these three representative Romantic-era writers integrated personal narrative with scientific inquiry. The book reveals a fundamental connection previously overlooked in literary and scientific scholarship, arguing that autobiography and natural science were not irreconcilable disciplines but deeply intertwined in the thought of major historical figures. By analysing the autobiographies and scientific writings of Rousseau, Goethe, and Thoreau, Kuhn dismantles the entrenched thesis of the "two cultures" and offers a fresh perspective on how knowledge was produced and understood during a pivotal period of intellectual history. Essential for historians, literary scholars, and anyone interested in how scientific and autobiographical writing shaped modern thought.
