He spoke to us about a kind of knowledge needed by the teacher, a knowledge of the being of man and the world, which is at the same time scientific and also penetrates into the most intimate inner life, which is intuitive and artistic.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese lectures form one of the best introductions to Waldorf education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGerman source: \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDie geistig-seelischen Grundkräfte der Erziehungskunst.

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.
