Synopsis

Rudolf Steiner's contribution to humanity has been prodigious: farms, schools, clinics and laboratories have all been established on the spiritual philosophy he expounded. Hitler and the Nazis banned all his works. The Anthroposophical Society, established by Steiner in 1912, has adherents around the world. It is open to all creeds and colours, demands no endorsement of doctrine, and holds as a universal principle the striving for the knowledge of the spirit in man and the cosmos. In 'Knowledge of the Higher Worlds, and Its Attainment' Rudolf Steiner reveals - to those willing to undertake the necessary discipline - the method by which this 'knowledge of the spirit' may be obtained.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

About the Author:

"Rudolf Steiner (born 25 February 1861 in Murakiraly, Austria-Hungary (now Donji Kraljevec, Croatia), died 30 March 1925 in Dornach, Switzerland) was an Austrian philosopher, literary scholar, educator, artist, playwright, social thinker, and esotericist. He was the founder of Anthroposophy, Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, anthroposophical medicine, and the new artistic form of Eurythmy.

He characterized anthroposophy as follows:
"Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge, to guide the spiritual in the human being to the spiritual in the universe. Anthroposophists are those who experience, as an essential need of life, certain questions on the nature of the human being and the universe, just as one experiences hunger and thirst."

Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual component. He derived his epistemology from Johann Wolfgang Goethe's world view, where "Thinking is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas."" (Quote from wikipedia.org)

Présentation de l'éditeur

There slumber in every human being faculties by means of which he can acquire for himself a knowledge of higher worlds. Mystics, Gnostics, Theosophists - all speak of a world of soul and spirit which for them is just as real as the world we see with our physical eyes and touch with our physical hands. At every moment the listener may say to himself: that, of which they speak, I too can learn, if I develop within myself certain powers which today still slumber within me. -- Rudolf Steiner
