Walter Johannes Stein – A Biography
By Johannes Tautz

Walter Johannes Stein was one of the pioneers of Anthroposophy - the science of the spirit founded by Rudolf Steiner, which is influential today in education, agriculture, medicine, science, and art. To many Stein was a controversial and flamboyant figure. He was certainly a fighter, seeing his task within the context of a critical time in human development. In 1926, speaking at a general meeting of the Anthroposophical Society, he said: ‘Perhaps it will only be possible at the end of the century to bring to full harmony the different impulses of will, which are opposed today. In spite of this we must succeed in maintaining the continuity of our movement until then . . . Only then will what Dr Steiner expresses in his Mystery Drama become reality: "In much hate I can only see the seeds of a future love."' Johannes Tautz catalogues Stein's fascinating life with meticulous care. We see Stein as the school teacher, lecturer and writer and follow his footsteps to Germany, Switzerland, Britain, and throughout the world.
