"Faust, Der Tragödie zweiter Teil" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a philosophical drama that explores the themes of good and evil, knowledge and power, and the human condition. The play follows the story of Faust, a brilliant scholar who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for unlimited knowledge and power.

Through these experiences, Faust learns about the limits of human knowledge and power and the importance of human striving.
