• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this work, Rudolf Steiner examines the lives and teachings of Meister Eckhart, Johannes Tauler, Paracelsus, Johannes Ruysbroeck, Jacob Boehme, Giordano Bruno, and others-spiritual free thinkers whose experiences transcended their time and anticipated the soul's quest for meaning in the modern age.Rather than treating mysticism as mere religious sentiment, Steiner reveals how these individuals cultivated a living relationship with the spiritual world-one that speaks directly to the deeper impulses behind philosophy, science, and personal transformation. By drawing connections between Renaissance mysticism and contemporary consciousness, Steiner encourages readers to rediscover the spiritual heritage of Europe as a vital resource for addressing today's internal and external challenges.This book is both as a tribute to the past and an invitation to awaken the spiritual capacities inherent in every individual. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the profound influences of Christian mysticism, Western esotericism, and the evolution of human consciousness.Excerpts: "Only he who knows the Spirit, in the sense of true Mysticism, can attain a full understanding of the facts of Nature""All these thinkers have in common a strong sense of the fact that in man's knowing of himself there rises a sun which illuminates something very different from the mere accidental, separated personality of the beholder.""It was clear to them that self-knowledge in its true form enriched man with a new sense, which unlocked for him a world standing in relation to the world accessible to him without this new sense as does the world of one possessing physical sight to that of a blind man." "For one who looks thus upon the inner life of man, it is also obvious what is the meaning of human cognition within the whole world-process."

Autorenporträt

Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner was born in 1861 to Johann Steiner and Franziska Blie. He emerged as a prominent figure in philosophy, spirituality, and cultural renewal during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Initially recognized for his scholarly work on Goethe, Steiner s intellectual journey gradually shifted toward metaphysical and esoteric inquiries. His early education at the Vienna University of Technology and later studies at the University of Rostock provided a strong foundation in science and philosophy, which he later integrated into his spiritual explorations. He claimed the existence of clairvoyant abilities and developed a system of knowledge he called spiritual science, aiming to bridge the material and spiritual worlds. Steiner s teachings influenced a range of fields, including education, medicine, agriculture, and architecture. He founded the anthroposophical movement, which sought to apply spiritual understanding to practical life. His architectural legacy includes the Goetheanum, a center for cultural and spiritual activities. Steiner died in 1925 in Switzerland, leaving behind a substantial body of work that continues to inspire alternative approaches to learning, healing, and spiritual inquiry.
