Rudolf Steiner's core mission, repeatedly delayed due to the
incapacity of colleagues, was to pursue contemporary
spiritual-scientific research into the phenomena of reincarnation
and karma. This stimulating book describes the winding biographical
path this mission took, and in particular focuses on the mystery of
Rudolf Steiner's connection with the influential medieval
philosopher and theologian, Thomas Aquinas. Utilizing numerous
archival sources and publications, Thomas Meyer reveals many facts
relating to Steiner's core mission, and shows the critical roles
played by Wilhelm Anton Neumann and Karl Julius Schroer in its
genesis and development. Meyer examines how Steiner's pupils
responded to his insights into karma, and places this 'most
intrinsic mission' into the context of current divisions within the
anthroposophic movement. In particular, he highlights the place of
spiritual science within culture and history, showing how Steiner
developed the great scientific ideas of evolution propounded by
Darwin by raising them to the plane of each individual's soul and
spiritual development. As Steiner stated in 1903: 'Scientific
researchers explain the skull forms of higher animals as a
transformation of a lower type of skull. In the same way one should
explain a soul's biography through the soul biography which the
former evolved from.'
