Dr.
G. P. GOOCH : Goethe '
Professor Gooch, a brilliant exponent of German life and thought, continues tho attempt to trace the origins of the modern spirit in the creators of the past. His subject is Goethe, the artist-philosopher who seemed in his own time to have achieved a marvellous harmony in his conception of the universe, but whom posterity has come to regard as the supreme representative of a passing romantic idealist phase in the history of thought. He stands, like Wordsworth, for that early nineteenth-century harmony between Man and Nature that experience has not ratified : his attempted balance is now regarded as a fallacious ideal in whose interest Man was exalted and Nature misunderstood. But he remains among the giants of European culture, and tonight's examination of his many-sided genius should bo of absorbing interest.
