"Man or Matter" by Ernst Lehrs is a scientific publication written during the mid-20th century. The book explores the intersection between spiritual understanding and the material world, emphasizing a new method of observing nature inspired by Goethe's approach. It aims to transcend the limitations of modern science, advocating for a deeper understanding of natural phenomena through a spiritual lens, particularly influenced by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. The opening of the work establishes the author's journey towards a new understanding of science and its relationship with human consciousness. Lehrs reflects on his early experiences as an electrical engineer, shaped by the disillusionment of the war and a desire to reconcile the gap between human thought and action. He recounts how his encounter with Rudolf Steiner prompted him to rethink the foundations of scientific inquiry and philosophy. The first chapter sets the stage for a critique of contemporary scientific methods, stressing the inadequacies of observing the world through a single, "colour-blind" perspective, and introduces the idea that a more holistic and spiritually aware approach is necessary to comprehend the dynamic forces of nature.
