- Shop more books in the same category: All Books
You are probably familiar with some innovations of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner. Waldorf schools, Biodynamic farming, Camphill Villages. He laid the groundwork for today's revolutions in alternative education, holistic health, and organic foods.
While his achievements are well-known, Rudolf Steiner himself is understood by few people. He was a prolific writer and the mystic-scholar's writings and lectures fill several bookcases. His works however are often dense and "insider" in tone, deterring the curious.
Gary Lachman has produced a biography that tells Steiner's story, placing him in an historical context, and presents Rudolf Steiner's key ides in a readable, accessible manner. He traces Steiner's beginnings as a young intellectual in the ferment of fin de siecle culture, to his rise as a thought leader within the influential occult movemenet of Theosophy, to the founding of his own metaphysical teaching, Anthroposophy. Finally, the book illustrates how Steiner's methods are put into practice today, and relates his cosmological insights to the work of current thinkers.
