Synopsis

Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner (1861 – 1925) was an Austrian social reformer, philosopher, economist, architect, esotericist, and economist. He rose to celebrity during the latter part of the twentieth century as a literary critic and author of philosophical works, later founding a spiritual movement called “anthroposophy” which was heavily influenced by German theosophy and idealist philosophy. Originally published in 1930, this volume explains how different stages of material cognition and higher states of knowledge can be achieved through meditation, concentration exercises, and a connection to the spirit world. This fascinating book will appeal to those with an interest in spiritualism, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage spiritualist literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

‘Stages of Higher Knowledge’ was written by Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner (1861 - 1925). This version contains a new translation from the original German; a text which was formerly translated under the title ‘Gates of Knowledge’ as a supplement to a work on ‘Knowledge of Higher Worlds.’ Steiner was a very well educated man, achieving a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Rostock – after which he became interested in epistemology and ethics. Steiner set up ‘The Anthroposophical Society’, which helped found a school of spiritual science; attempting to find a synthesis between science and mysticism. This text comes out of such interest, and is formed of five thematic chapters including ‘Stages’, ‘Sleep’, ‘Imagination’, ‘Inspiration’ and the links between ‘Inspiration and Intuition.’ This book contains an author biography, briefly detailing Steiner’s life, and makes essential reading for anyone interested in psychology, science, mysticism and turn of the century intellectual currents.
