Rudolf Steiner was born in Kraljevec, Austria on February 27, 1861,
and died in Dornach, Switzerland, on March 30, 1925. He was a
scientist, writer, lecturer and philosopher, as well as being the
founder and leading light of Anthroposophy, a movement based on the
belief that there is a spiritual world comprehensible to pure thought
but accessible only to the highest faculties of mental (spiritual)
activity.
Steiner edited Goethe's scientific works, and from 1889 to 1896 worked
on the standard version of his complete works at Weimar. During this
period he wrote his
Philosophy of
Freedom,
then moved to Berlin to edit the literary journal Magazin für
Literatur and to begin an extensive, life-long lecturing career.
Convinced of the possibility of spiritual perception independent of
the senses, he called the activity of his research
anthroposophy, centering on knowledge produced by
the higher self in man. All of his many books and over 6,000
lectures are available in German and most in English as well.
The practical results of Steiner's work include approximately 800
Waldorf schools the world over, bio-dynamic agriculture
and anthroposophical medicine. These movements continue growing and
nourishing society.
