Never heard of him.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Steiner
Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner (25/27 February 1861 – 30 March 1925) was an Austrian philosopher, social reformer, architect, and esotericist. Steiner gained initial recognition at the end of the nineteenth century as a literary critic and published philosophical works including The Philosophy of Freedom. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he founded a spiritual movement, anthroposophy, with roots in German idealist philosophy and theosophy; other influences include Goethean science and Rosicrucianism.

In the first, more philosophically oriented phase of this movement, Steiner attempted to find a synthesis between science and spirituality; his philosophical work of these years, which he termed spiritual science, sought to apply the clarity of thinking characteristic of Western philosophy to spiritual questions, differentiating this approach from what he considered to be vaguer approaches to mysticism. In a second phase, beginning around 1907, he began working collaboratively in a variety of artistic media, including drama, the movement arts (developing a new artistic form, eurythmy) and architecture, culminating in the building of the Goetheanum, a cultural centre to house all the arts. In the third phase of his work, beginning after World War I, Steiner worked to establish various practical endeavors, including Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, and anthroposophical medicine.

Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual approach. He based his epistemology on Johann Wolfgang Goethe's world view, in which “Thinking … is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas." A consistent thread that runs from his earliest philosophical phase through his later spiritual orientation is the goal of demonstrating that there are no essential limits to human knowledge.

...

Steiner and Christianity

In 1899 Steiner experienced what he described as a life-transforming inner encounter with the being of Christ; previously he had little or no relation to Christianity in any form. Then and thereafter, his relationship to Christianity remained entirely founded upon personal experience, and thus both non-denominational and strikingly different from conventional religious forms. Steiner was then 38, and the experience of meeting the Christ occurred after a tremendous inner struggle. To use Steiner's own words, the "experience culminated in my standing in the spiritual presence of the Mystery of Golgotha in a most profound and solemn festival of knowledge."

Maybe there is a reason I've never heard of him ...

Why, Glenn, so nice to see ye matey! I am sooo sorry you're offended by my well-formed, hyper-developed corpus callosum, allowing me to be both supra-logical and yet fairly artistically inclined. Thus, I shall politely decline from posting much. :)

A white male European born in the 19th century turns out to be a racist? Surely you are joking?!

On a more serious note, why are there still schools around that base their educational philosophy on theories that treat Atlantis and Lemura like real things?

Okay, I was joking, after all, we all known that White Male Europeans of that time were the most upright & honest people on the planet.

On a more sirius note, you meant to tell me that there are still schools today with their heads stuck in the cloud?

A wise man??

He was a racist amongst other very bad traits, and if you say that makes him a wise man, then maybe it's time for you to word clear "Wise man"

Anthroposophy and Waldorf is elitistic, and racist to the core. Rudolf Steiner was a very very bad man, and anyone believing otherwise, should read a bit more about what Steiner wrote.

But I guess you didn't bother to read anything from the links which showed what he thought about different races.

Does that perhaps have anything to do with the close proximity of the following?:

"In 1995 there was a scandal in the Netherlands when it became publicly known that Dutch Waldorf schools were teaching "racial ethnography," where children learn that the "black race" has thick lips and a sense of rhythm and that the "yellow race" hides its emotions behind a permanent smile. In 1994 the Steinerite lecturer Rainer Schnurre, at one of his frequent seminars for the anthroposophist adult school in Berlin, gave a talk with the rather baffling title "Overcoming Racism and Nationalism through Rudolf Steiner." Schnurre emphasized the essential differences between races, noted the "infantile" nature of blacks, and alleged that due to immutable racial disparities "no equal and global system can be created for all people on earth" and that "because of the differences between races, sending aid to the developing world is useless."

How anyone can call Steiner a wise man, is beyond me, and I'm sure beyond most people...

I bet it itches in your fingers, to use those extra buttons you have in front of you....


Steiner is one of my heroes, check my profile, nuff said. I you don't like it, you can always red x me LOL:)))))

No problems. At least now I know where you stand on racism. Always good to know. Of course you're free to have your opinions, and having them out in the open is even better. After all we still live in a free society.

No need to redX you at all, and pretty useless, since you are protected so to speak.

Don't expect me to stop bashing racists like Steiner though.

Have a nice weekend.


FYI I am not a racist and yes, I didn't bother to read your links. Have a nice weekend yourself.

That makes no sense. You're not racist but have a racist as your hero? In what respect have you put him on such a pedestal?
