Steiner demonstrates that there are twelve main philosophical standpoints and that the future of philosophy rests not upon defending one and refuting the others but in learning to experience the validity of them all.
Since this book was written more than a century ago, many have tried to discover the kind of new thinking that can help us better understand the spiritual, ecological, social, political, and philosophical issues that face us. Steiner showed a path that leads from ordinary thinking to the level of pure spiritual activity - true inner freedom
Introduction to The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity
This work, essentially Rudolf Steiner's doctoral dissertation, subtitled 'Introduction to the Philosophy of Freedom' is just that - an essential work in the foundations of spiritual science. The epistemological foundations of spiritual knowledge are clearly and logically presented.
Much has been written on The Philosophy of Freedom, but the advantage of discovering what the author himself had to say about this most important and seminal work is obvious. Not only were the words of the text chosen most carefully, but also its very structure was intended to become a powerful inner experience for the careful reader. Otto Palmer has provided an invaluable service by extracting numerous references from the words of Rudolf Steiner, providing keys to the deeper meanings behind the words.
