Rudolf Steiner -- educator, architect, artist, philosopher and
agriculturalist -- ranks amongst the most creative and prolific
figures of the early twentieth century. Yet he remains a mystery to
most people. This is the first truly popular biography of the man
behind the ideas, written by a sympathetic but critical outsider.
Steiner is widely known for what he left behind: a network of
Waldorf schools, biodynamic farming, Camphill schools and villages
and pioneering work in holistic health and environmental research.
Although his achievements are felt all over the world, few people
understand this unusual figure. Steiner's own writings fill several
bookcases, but are often dense and 'insider' in tone. Gary Lachman
tells Steiner's story lucidly and with great insight. He presents
Steiner's key ideas in a readable, accessible way, tracing his
beginning as a young intellectual in the ferment of fin de siecle
culture to the founding of his own metaphysical teaching, called
anthroposophy. This book is a full-bodied portrait of one of the
most original philosophical and spiritual luminaries of the last
two centuries.
