Occultists - Rudolf Steiner, with the old wooden Goethaenum in the background, and a detail from his great sculpture in the foreground. - Rudolf Steiner (February 27, 1861, Murakirály, Hungary [today Donji Kraljevec, Croatia] - March 30, 1925) was an Austrian philosopher, literary scholar, architect, playwright, educator, and social thinker, who is best known as the founder of Anthroposophy and its practical applications, including Waldorf School, Biodynamic agriculture, the Camphill Movement, and the Christian Community. Steiner characterized history as essentially shaped by changes formed through a progressive development of human consciousness. The activity of individualised human thinking was seen as a relatively recent advance which led to the dramatic developments of the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. In his epistemological works, he advocated the Goethean view that thinking itself is a perceptive instrument for ideas, just as the eye is a perceptive instrument for light. - © / CW
