This article introduces the concept of metamorphosis according to the phenomenology of Goethe. The improvement of the phenomenological perception of nature is the foundation for the development of the interactional process between subject and object. The organic object requires appropriate modes of intentionality for their modes of presentation. The versatility of representations is a prerequisite for the development of phenomenological judgment that lets the being to manifest itself. The language becomes an instrument of approaching to the object. The concepts are applied in its transcendental dimension. The concept of metamorphosis apprehends the unity of the phenomenon in its multiple manifestations. The transitivity of the modes of manifestation of the organic being is expressed in the principle of metamorphosis.
