Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy for Beginners

Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy for Beginners by Tummer, Lia. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780863162862.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, Rudolf Steiner created Anthroposophy, the "spiritual science" that opposes the blindly science-believing, materialistic ideology inherited from the previous century. Based on a profound knowledge of the human being and his relationship with nature and the universe, Anthroposophy has not only been able to provide renewing impulses to the most diverse spheres of human activity, like medicine, education, agriculture, art, religion, etc., but is also capable of providing answers to the eternal questions posed by mankind, towards which natural sciences remain indifferent: what is life? where do we come from when we are born? where do we go when we die? what sense has pain and illness? why does some peoples destiny seem unjust? Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy for Beginners describes this universal genius solitary growth from a childhood in the untamed beauty of the Austrian Alps to the sublimities of human wisdom.
