warrior-like Robert I to the poetic charms of James I, from the
romantic spirit of Mary, Queen of Scots to the trend-setting George
IV - the Kings and Queens of Scotland are brought vividly to life

Austrian philosopher, playwright, and artist Rudolf Steiner
(1861-1925) is perhaps best known as an educational philosopher and
reformer, the founder of Steiner (or Waldorf) schools located
around the world. These schools' philosophy represents the
priorities Steiner discusses in Theosophy: the development of body,
soul, and spirit. Goethe was an important influence on Steiner, and
he edited the poet's scientific works (1889-1896). Steiner was an
active member and leader of the German branch of Madame Blavatsky's
Theosophical Society, eventually broke away from theosophy, as he
developed his own spiritual philosophy termed 'anthroposophy'; this
philosophical movement asserted the potential of realizing a
spiritual reality through cognition. This 1910 translation by
Elizabeth Douglas Shields is of the book's third German edition; it
was first published in 1904. This work will be of particular
interest to historians of philosophy, of spiritual movements and of
education.
