On this basis, Steiner presents his understanding of every aspect of child development-bodily, psychological, and spiritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, Steiner shows that, to prove worthy of their calling, teachers must begin a process of inner development. In his view, it is the human being who gives value and meaning to the world, but modern education is gradually undermining this fact. These lectures demonstrate that education can heal such a lack of meaning and restore the value of human beings for the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteiner also discusses the practical, day-to-day operation of the school. He talks about styles of teaching, teacher conferences, parent-teacher meetings, and how Waldorf education is related to the anthroposophic movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, while serving as a good introduction to Steiner's ideas on education, also represents the fruits of four years experience in the Waldorf school.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated from Rudolf Steiner's \u003ci\u003eDer pädagogische Wert der Menschenerkenntnis und der Kulturwert der Pädagogik\u003c\/i\u003e (GA 310), Rudolf Steiner Verlag, 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSteiner, Rudolf:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eRudolf Steiner\u003c\/strong\u003e (1861-1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe's scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical principles into an approach to systematic research into psychological and spiritual phenomena. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy, spiritual research, and findings. The influence of Steiner's multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs, threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBamford, Christopher:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eChristopher Bamford\u003c\/b\u003e is Editor in Chief Emeritus for SteinerBooks (Anthroposophic Press) and its imprints.
