193 - On the incarnation of Ahriman - Rudolf Steiner

Dettagli

Rudolf Steiner, founder of anthroposophy, was born in Austria in 1861, and came to prominence while still a student by editing the publication of Goethe's scientific writings. From 1890 to '97 he collaborated on the Goethe and Schiller Archive in Weimar. From 1902 he had a more intense activity as a writer and lecturer, first within the Theosophical Society and then within the Anthroposophical Society, which he founded in 1913. In addition to around thirty written works of a philosophical and anthroposophical nature, the shorthand texts of almost 6000 conferences on the most diverse branches of knowledge. The impulses he gave in art, science, medicine, pedagogy and agriculture led to increasingly widespread movements around the world. He died in 1925 in Dornach (Switzerland) where he had built the first Goetheanum in wood, a center of scientific and artistic activities based on anthroposophy, destroyed by fire in 1922 and then rebuilt in concrete after his death.
