Rudolf Steiner
Scientist of the Invisible
A. P. Shepherd

In Rudolf Steiner - Scientist of the Invisible, A. P. Shepherd gives us not only an excellent biography of one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th Century, but also an introduction to the heart of Spiritual Science, or anthroposophy―the life work of Rudolf Steiner.

"Each of us discovered from the other that we had set ourselves the same life task, to strive for the awakening of that true culture which would be enlivened and penetrated by the ideal of humanity and to guide and hold men to the goal of becoming truly intelligent, thinking beings."
My Meeting with Rudolf Steiner, Albert Schweitzer

It is not sufficient today to reveal the facts of spiritual reality by recounting the great teachings of the past. The time has come when men and women must advance toward direct knowledge of the supersensible world by developing their latent faculties of spiritual perception, in full, rational consciousness. The rise, in the last three centuries, of logical thinking and of the scientific spirit of observation has been a necessary step in human evolution toward a rediscovery, at a higher level, of the spiritual background of the universe.

By applying scientific methods to his examination of the spiritual world, Rudolf Steiner brought us a workable means by which reincarnation, karma, the Christian mysteries, initiation, and both Eastern and Western esoteric traditions are synthesized into a path open to the intelligence of modern men and women. Steiner's spiritual vision penetrated the practical side of the human condition and generated a new form of medicine and biodynamic agriculture, a highly successful, spiritually based therapy for retarded children, a school of art and architecture, as well as the worldwide Waldorf system of education.
An understanding of Rudolf Steiner's Spiritual Science offers the reader a powerful tool for self-unfoldment and a practical system for improving and mastering daily life.
