Tentamos sistematizar o pensamento do autor, que ao longo de sua obra parece esparso e até mesmo contraditório. Como conceito central de todas as suas preocupações, identificamos o de “Deus-natureza”. Na mesma medida em que por este conceito tentamos situar o pensamento de Goethe de maneira mais justa na história das idéias, buscamos trazer à luz uma noção panenteísta pioneira e complexa, que concilia o monismo espinosano à noção monádica e préromântica de liberdade individual, também no âmbito da ética. / This thesis presents the central tenets of Johann W. Goethe’s thought. The latter is basically understood as a kind of philosophy of religion which serves as the starting point for Goethe’s view of nature, as well as for his anthropological and aesthetical conceptions. An effort was made to systematize a way of thinking that over the decades appeared to be sparse and even marked by contradictions. We were able to identify, as the central concept guiding Goethe’s concerns, that of the “God-Nature”. We thereby attempted to situate Goethe’s thought in a more favorable way in terms of intellectual history, as well as to highlight his pioneering and complex panentheist notion, one which seeks to reconcile Spinoza’s monism with the monadic and preromantic notion of individual freedom, also in the realm of ethics.
