Correction: Goethe, not Hegel
In a previous post to Julio, I falsely attributed Goethe's saying 'Grey is
all theory, but green alone the
tree of life' to GWF Hegel (1770-1831), who said "Minerva's owl flies at
dusk", but in reality it was JW Goethe (1749-1832) who talked about the
green tree of life.
It is of course possible, that Hegel did use Goethe's phrase, but I cannot
find a locus for this immediately. Interestingly, Goethe lived a lot longer
than Hegel.

Jurriaan
