A New Foundation for the Study of Human Experience
Rudolf Steiner
(GA 45)
Translated
by
Catherine E. Creeger & Detlef Hardorp.
Introduction by James Dyson
Foreword by Robert Sardello
Anthroposophy - a Fragment is an uncompleted text of
1910 which was found among Rudolf Steiner’s unpublished works,
in the form of a handwritten manuscript and as printed
sheets, corrected by the author.
Although
fragmentary, this key work on anthroposophy, never before in
English, is of enormous interest and importance. It is a work
whose time has truly arrived. Steiner takes the first steps in
this work toward developing a truly spiritual psychology. He
demonstrates the phenomenological approach to the human being
as a sense organ, to the life processes, the I-experience, the
human form, and the relationship to the higher spiritual worlds.

Anthroposophy - A Fragment - Rudolf
Steiner
Other
introductory works:
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) called his spiritual philosophy
'anthroposophy', which he defined as 'the consciousness of one's
humanity', and the disciplined methods of studying this he termed
‘spiritual science’. As a highly developed clairvoyant and
spiritual initiate, he spoke from
his direct cognition of the spiritual world. However, he did not see
his work as religious or sectarian, but rather sought to found a
universal 'science of the spirit'.
His
many published works (written books and lectures) - which include
his research into the spiritual nature of the human being, the
evolution of the world and humanity, and methods of personal
development - invite readers to develop their own spiritual
faculties. He also provided indications for the renewal of many
human activities, including education - both general and special -
agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy,
religion and the arts. He wrote some 30 books and delivered over
6000 lectures across Europe, and in 1924 founded the General
Anthroposophical Society which today has branches throughout the
world.
