"Rudolf Steiner's Riddles of Philosophy: Presented in an Outline of
Its History is not a history of philosophy in the usual sense of
the word. It does not give a history of the philosophical systems,
nor does it present a number of philosophical problems
historically. Its real concern touches on something deeper than
this, on riddles rather than problems. Philosophical concepts,
systems and problems are, to be sure, to be dealt with in this
book. But it is not their history that is to be described here.
Where they are discussed they become symptoms rather than the
objects of the search. The search itself wants to reveal a process
that is overlooked in the usual history of philosophy. It is the
mysterious process in which philosophical thinking appears in human
history. Philosophical thinking as it is here meant is known only
in Western civilization. Oriental philosophy has its origin in a
different kind of consciousness, and it is not to be considered in
this book. "What is new here is the treatment of the history of
philosophic thinking as a manifestation of the evolution of human
consciousness. Such a treatment requires a fine sense of
observation. Not merely the thoughts must be observed, but behind
them the thinking in which they appear. "To follow Steiner in his
subtle description of the process of the metamorphosis of this
thinking in the history of philosophy we should remember he sees
the human consciousness in an evolution. It has not always been
what it is now, and what it is now it will not be in the future.
This is a fundamental conception of anthroposophy." --From the
introduction by Fritz C. A. Koelln:
