Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy 100 years ago. His work is as voluminous as it is fascinating - and it polarizes: the spirits still divorce on his ideas.
Rudolf Steiner was born in Austria in 1861 and was an important philosopher, social reformer and esoteric. His teachings include a broad spectrum, from educational issues and agriculture to social ethics. Steiner is particularly known for the development of Waldorf education, which is a holistic educational method that promotes the mental, emotional and physical development of children.
In the area of agriculture, Steiner founded the so -called biodynamic agriculture, which pursues a sustainable form of cultivation. This methodology, which not only integrates ecological but also spiritual approaches, has influenced biological cultivation worldwide and gained many followers.
Despite its extensive influences, many of Steiner's ideas are controversial. Critics accuse him that there are no clear scientific foundations for his theories. Nevertheless, anthroposophy has inspired numerous institutions and movements that deal with alternative healing methods and holistic education.
Even after his death in 1925, Steiner's teachings remained alive. The international community of anthroposophers as well as the numerous Waldorf schools and biodynamic companies are witnesses of its ongoing influence. Steiner's vision of a spiritually well -founded way of life still challenges to discuss and discussion.
