THE UR-PHENOMENON
Goethe argued that, in time, out of commitment, practice, and proper efforts, the student would discover the "ur-phenomenon" (Ur-Phänomen), the essential pattern or process of a thing. Ur- bears the connotation of primordial, basic, elemental, archetypal; the ur-phenomenon may be thought of as the "deep-down phenomenon," the essential core of a thing that makes it what it is and what it becomes. For example, in his botanical work, Goethe saw the ur-phenomenon of the plant as arising out of the interplay between two opposing forces: the "vertical tendency" and "horizontal tendency."The former is the plant's inescapable need to grow upward; the latter, the nourishing, expanding principle that gives solidity to the plant.20 Only when these two forces are in balance can the plant grow normally.
Goethe believed that the powers of human perception and understanding cannot penetrate beyond the ur-phenomenon. It is "an ultimate which can not itself be explained, which is in fact not in need of explanation, but from which all that we observe can be made intelligible."The key procedural need in discovering the ur-phenomenon, Goethe argued, is maintaining continuous experiential contact with the thing throughout the course of investigation‑-to intellectualize abstractly as little as possible. "Pure experience," he wrote, "should lie at the root of all physical sciences... A theory can be judged worthy only when all experiences are brought under one roof and assist in their subsequent application."Goethe believed that the powers of human perception and understanding cannot penetrate beyond the ur-phenomenon. It is "an ultimate which can not itself be explained, which is in fact not in need of explanation, but from which all that we observe can be made intelligible

The highest is to understand that all fact is really theory. The blue of the sky reveals to us the basic law of color. Search nothing beyond the phenomena, they themselves are the theory.
