Rudolf Steiner was both scientist and spiritual seeker. A powerful
personality, his efforts to bring to his spiritual perceptions a
scientific understanding attracted wide interest, resulting in a
broad social role for the worldview he developed.
People from many disciplines and different walks of life took
up Steiner’s indications and applied and worked them in their various
fields.
Best known are the approaches developed in education and agriculture
(Biodynamics), but Steiner’s thinking had practical impact also
in the areas of medicine, art and architecture, and economic and
social studies.
Steiner established the first Steiner (or Waldorf) school early
in the 20th Century. Through Steiner education, he hoped to educate
the hearts and minds of young people so that they would gain the
strength of will to meet the challenges of their own time and the
future.
The need for imagination, a sense
of truth and a feeling of responsibility — these are the three forces
which are the very nerve of education.
