For Claudia, Patrick and others:
In my opinion, the addition of the part "Intuitive Thinking As a Spiritual Path" was a big mistake. The original title of Steiner's book was "The Philosophy of Freedom" (not "A", but "The") and the new title only adds to misconception and confusion.
Steiner saw thinking - conscious thinking - as primordial. Clear, precise thinking was absolutely essential, and intuition, as I see it, is something else. And what'...more

Another book I read in teacher training. I had to present on one of the chapters, 7 I think, anyway, all I remember now is that it was about faith and hope. What hope do you have? Whatever hope you THINK you have. Boiled down: if you believe it, it is true. Another must read for anyone seriously studying Steiner and Waldorf education.
Science, humanity and the reason within a Spiritual path. Steiner will seek to enlighten us through the results of observing the human soul according to the methods of natural science.

I am working on it. I have never done well with books on philosophy, but love the topic and ran into this author a couple of times. Hopefully I will finish it with full understanding and will give a good review at that time.
Finished the book. I don't have much more understanding of the book, but that is a personal problem, not the books fault:) I will probably re-read it some day to understand it a bit better. Just a quick note, it centers on the topic of free will vs an external fre...more

I have been reading this book with two friends since last fall!!! It is a bear, partly because it is translated from German. There are whole classes on it at the college. Figured can't work at the Rudolf Steiner College Bookstore without reading some of the man's major works!! Sorry, can't sum it up yet for you....
Thank you, Kristen, for encouraging me to read this book. It is challenging to follow in some parts but so worth sticking to it. A simple but powerful idea to look nowhere but within yourself to find spirituality and meaning in life.
