Space and Counterspace

This is a book building on the work of Rudolf Steiner on counterspace, which formed part of his scientific approach incorporating a deeper level of perception and based originally on his understanding of the science of Goethe. In particular, modern science is a science of quantities rather than quality, and has great difficulty dealing with qualia, which, after all, form the basis of our everyday experience. The author discusses our experience of seeing blue as an example, maintaining that this cannot be dismissed as merely subjective. Quoting Heisenberg on Goethe, it is clear that the physicist understood that Goethe's more direct contact with nature would have to be foregone in the interests of clearly understanding a wide range of mathematical relationships. This book probes more deeply and its content is relatively technical and more easily understood by trained scientists, who will appreciate the wide range of application of these insights in relation to gravity, time, chemistry, astronomy and cosmology.
