"I don't want to be revered! I want to be understood." --Rudolf
Steiner, 1915 Whoever follows Rudolf Steiner's life will gain the
impression that, from a certain point on, his constant attempt was
to awake, in numerous ways, an active, working understanding for
Anthroposophy. He used creative imagination to treat particular
themes and tasks, ever anew, and in many forms. If we observe the
variations of those presentations, we see in them the intentions
that guided his whole life. A biography that shows Steiner's
intentions and efforts in the context of the times and his life
circumstances will not only relate what happened, but also why. His
work does not, as in many modern biographies, disappear behind the
life story. This is one of the most comprehensive biographies of
Rudolf Steiner, tracing his life and development through a profound
look at his life and work, which encompassed numerous areas,
including his Goethean research, philosophy, esoteric work,
pedagogy, medicine, sociology, agriculture, architecture, painting,
movement arts, and poetry. This biography, which tracks his
divergent activities, shows how Rudolf Steiner was most concerned
with bringing a new approach to knowledge through Spiritual Science
and to revitalizing the most important areas of human culture and
society. Includes 119 photographic reproductions. C O N T E N T S
