Description: Very Good. 7.9 x 5 x 0.6 inches. Very Good condition. Binding is tight and pages are clean. No bends on cover. This work, though now appearing for the first time in English dress, has not only passed into three editions in Germany, but has been translated into Russian, Swedish, Dutch, Czechish, and Italian, while a French translation is being prepared. It were perhaps well to mention that in this work the words "know" and "knowledge, " when used in reference to the supersensible worlds, involve ... read more
"The title of this book can be mischevious and it is very unfortunate that Rudolf Steiner is by many people viewed as a "mere theosoph". There was indeed a stage in his life when he joined the theosophical society but because of the unsurmountable differences of opinions he was forced to leave and founded the Anthroposophical society. So the title of this book should really be "Anthroposophy" but the word "theosophy" stays in his books and written lectures for the historical faithfulness. As for the book itself, this is one of the five essential books that provide the view of anthroposophy as a spiritual science. It provides essential truth that can satisfy people searching for it and help them on their spiritual path."
"Incredible read. Had to repeat many sections many times to digest the thoughts. Thoroughly breaks down our relation to the cosmos. Spirit, soul, and body."
"The man is a genius. But my advice to anyone who has never read Steiner? Try to stay awake! Black coffee and a bright reading lamp! (This was my first Steiner book and I slept more while reading it than I did at night!)
I believe his writings are all translated from lectures and such. It is hard to get used to the indepth style of writing, especially after reading writings of current authors.
Steiner was born in mid 1800. He didn't actually go public with his writings until late into the 1800's. He was a true pioneer in how to find one's self. One of the lessons he taught was of karma and reincarnation and how the spirit world and the physical world come together and work together.
He created Anthroposophy which teaches a person how to tune their senses and find their inner spirit and nurture it, to evolve their consciousness.
I believe that everyone, at some point in their lives, should read this book, or Theosophy: An Introduction to the Supersensible Knowledge of the World and the Destination of Man, also a great book!
"This is one of the two key foundation texts for Rudolph Steiner's new religious movement Anthroposophy. It is a mish-mash of Neoplatonism and Vedanta expressed in 19th century scientific jargon. Steiner is a key figure in early 20th century spiritualism and his writings are important background in the study of the New Age movement."
