Abstract

Abstract

This article presents the fundamentals of Goethe's Theory of Colors. The physiological and physical colors present two principles: complementarity and intensification. Goethe´s research method is known as phenomenological. In his method approach to the phenomenon, there is not a reduction to the mechanical and geometric representations. Its focus is the quality of the phenomenon. The color wheel is made through research with the physiological and physical colors. The author presents six colors instead of seven as in Newton's prism. The phenomenological sky observation confirms studies of the prism. Goethe's phenomenology is a process of education of the senses and the quality of cognition.

Keywords: Phenomenology. Sensory Education. Epistemology of Education.
