- Goethe is one of the great minds of European civilisation, though his work is largely unknown outside of the German speaking countries. He deserves our renewed attention.

Fun fact: after the release of the book "the sorrows of the young Werther." this has caused a chain reaction of suicides in Europe. This cause of suicide effects has been later called as "the Werther-effect."
This guy wrote a story in 5 different languages when he was 8.
you neither read werther nor faust (i speak german and read both in the original language). werther wasnt unhappy, because couples have problems (she isnt called scarlett btw, shes called lotte), he was unhappy because they could never ever be together. werther belongs to the lower class, lotte already has a husband and belongs to a higher class. in the end, werther shoots himself, because the world is injuste (also because of other things than status) and because hell never have lotte. goethe put himself at risk writing such a critical work about the class system. also faust is not a guiding work at all. like where do you even get that from. faust initially wants to gain knowledge about things that people before him couldnt answer. he seeks to know everything about anything. he studied philosophy, medicine and many more, but nothing gives him all the knowledge he strives for. he makes an oath with mephistoteles and hopes to get knowledge he otherwise wouldnt get. but on this way, faust, because he is human, commits terrible things. he falls in love with a girl, impregnates her, kills her mother and her brother and in the end, she becomes insane and kills herself. if you read it, it will make more sense, but nevertheless, he makes terrible decisions and in the end, does not gain the knowlege he wanted. so wtf school of life, get your facts together
the true and only ubermensch
Be more like Goethe?
As a German, I love how you pronounce his name 😂
Oh my Gosh!!!! The Pantheon in Rome is not "a Baroque church designed by Bernini" (but a Roman temple converted to a christian basilica in the 7th century). Bernini made minor (and horrible) changes to it that were quickly scrapped.

It’s all “ Absurdism “ .... not for common people like Me !!!!!
We all know we have to comply with our spouses when we hit our 30's...Goethe just realized It earlier unlike most of the young men and women
"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul..."
Wow.
"We judge young girls for what they are, but young boys for what they promise to be"
This is the only channel on which I am actually enthusiastic to read people's comments and input. Much respect to all the thinkers out here <3. Thank you School of life for this piece of art in itself.
Goethe: What is life without romantic love?
Jesus... I remember watching this after I abysmally failed high school/college and was in a deep emotional rut. Great writers' stories and attitude to life as presented here and in other videos were such a massive inspiration and source of motivation for me to pull myself up, re-evaluate my values and life goals to the point where I made a gamble and signed up to a undergraduate degree in physics with a prep year (physics and mathematics were and are my jam) despite being aware of my previous failures. Here I am, a few years later, I finished my degree ranking first in my class, am on my way of getting a distinction in my MSc and have just been accepted to a PhD programme in a top world university!
I just love the amount of skill and effort put into the visuals and the theory all the same. So much research in both areas.
It is a damn shame that you can only put one thumbs up under this video!
How can one spend his entire life working on something and then not have 13 hours to see the whole thing ?
'The sorrows of young werther' is a fabulous book, despite the tragic-romantic style. It is not only based on Goethe's own disappointing experiences with women, but also based on a friend who committed suicide after a woman he was in love with rejected him.
