Although the fruits of Anthroposophy-Waldorf education, biodynamic
agriculture, Camphill, anthroposophic medicine, and so on-are
relatively well known and moderately successful, their relationship
to Anthroposophy and its vehicle for transmission, the General
Anthroposophical Society, and the School for Spiritual Science,
remains mysterious and unclear; sadly, the same is true of the
meaning and purpose of those institutions. Related to this is the
fact that, though these offshoots of Anthroposophy are well known,
eighty-five years after his death and eighty-seven years after the
re-formation of the Anthroposophical Society, what Rudolf Steiner
brought into the world, what entered the world through him and what
he sought to accomplish-that is, what spiritual science and
spiritual-scientific research are and how one practices them-remain
virtually unknown. In other words, something essential has been
forgotten. Written both in commemoration of the 150th anniversary
of Rudolf Steiner's birth and in the context of the long-standing,
episodically erupting, and ongoing confusion surrounding the
mission and task of the Anthroposophical Society, Peter Selg seeks
to recover what has perhaps been forgotten or overlooked in Rudolf
Steiner's own words and life. He does so by describing, clearly and
objectively, the historical background of Steiner's vision of the
"civilizational task" of Anthroposophy and how he had hoped it
might be accomplished. This book has two parts. First, the author
offers a lucid description of the development and gradual
sharpening-in the face of the crisis of Western culture epitomized
by World War I and its aftermath-of the vision of spiritual science
as a truly Michaelic task for the Michael Age. In part two, Peter
Selg takes up the events following Rudolf Steiner's death,
outlining deftly and subtly the struggles and developments that
ensued, commenting tactfully on the questions and perspectives that
arose and continue to arise. Rudolf Steiner's Intentions for the
Anthroposophical Society is a book for all those who care about the
reality and future of Anthroposophy.

Musical Anthropology is the title of a series of lectures by Dr
Hans-Heinrich Engel, given in the late sixties and early seventies.
The lectures were part of a research into Music therapy based on
Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy and were given in the context of the
work with children with complex needs and learning disabilities in
a number of residential communities in Northern Ireland,
Switzerland and the Netherlands. Engel's approach to therapy was
unique and intuitive, but at the same time based on his knowledge
of and experience with anthroposophical medicine. The lectures give
a fascinating description of the human organs and of the life
processes, especially breathing. This book may stimulate those who
wish to work therapeutically with the medium of music and are at
the same time interested in the spiritual background of the human
being as a basis for a deeper understanding of the effect of the
elements of music.
