Rudolph Steiner: An Introduction to His Life and Work
Gary Lachman
This is the first truly popular biography of the influential twentieth-century mystic and educator who - while widely known for founding the Waldorf schools and other educational and humanitarian movements - remains a mystery to many who benefit from his ideas. People everywhere have heard of Waldorf schools, Biodynamic farming, Camphill Villages, and other innovations of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925). Indeed, Steiner - as an architect, artist, teacher, and agriculturalist - ranks among the most creative and prolific figures of the early twentieth century, pioneering work in alternative education, holistic health, and environmental research. While his accomplishments are felt all over the world, few people understand this unusual figure. Steiner’s own writings and lectures fill several bookcases, intimidating those who would like to know more. Works on Steiner are often dense and insider in tone, further deterring the curious. No popular biography, written by a sympathetic but critical outsider, has been available.
