Rudolf Steiner (1861 to 1925) was a philosopher and spiritual teacher who founded anthroposophy, a path of spiritual knowledge of the human being and the cosmos. His ideas inspired Waldorf education and biodynamic farming.
Why It Matters
Steiner taught that human beings can develop spiritual perception through disciplined inner work, and that spirit is present in nature, art and daily life. Anthroposophy separated from the Theosophical Society in 1912 and 1913, and its center is the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland. His books include The Philosophy of Freedom and Theosophy.
