Steiner added to the Masonic rite a number of Rosicrucian references.

The difference between the Steiner tree problem and the minimum spanning tree problem is that, in the Steiner tree problem, extra intermediate vertices and edges may be added to the graph in order to reduce the length of the spanning tree.

For the Euclidean Steiner problem, points added to the graph ( Steiner points ) must have a degree of three, and the three edges incident to such a point must form three 120 degree angles.

Steiner built upon Goethe's conception of an imaginative power capable of synthesizing the sense-perceptible form of a thing ( an image of its outer appearance ) and the concept we have of that thing ( an image of its inner structure or nature ).

In his early works, Steiner sought to overcome what he perceived as the dualism of Cartesian idealism and Kantian subjectivism by developing Goethe's conception of the human being as a natural-supernatural entity, that is: natural in that humanity is a product of nature, supernatural in that through our conceptual powers we extend nature's realm, allowing it to achieve a reflective capacity in us as philosophy, art and science.

Anthroposophy, a philosophy founded by Rudolf Steiner, postulates the existence of an objective, intellectually comprehensible spiritual world accessible to direct experience through inner development.

Anthroposophical ideas have been applied practically in many areas including Steiner / Waldorf education, special education ( most prominently through the Camphill Movement ), agriculture, medicine, ethical banking, organizational development, and the arts.

In a number of works, Steiner described a path of inner development he felt would let anyone attain comparable spiritual experiences.

In 1923, faced with differences between older members focusing on inner development and younger members eager to become active in the social transformations of the time, Steiner refounded the Society in an inclusive manner and established a School for Spiritual Science.

Steiner believed results of this form of spiritual research should be expressed in a way that can be understood and evaluated on the same basis as the results of natural science: " The anthroposophical schooling of thinking leads to the development of a non-sensory, or so-called supersensory consciousness, whereby the spiritual researcher brings the experiences of this realm into ideas, concepts, and expressive language in a form which people can understand who do not yet have the capacity to achieve the supersensory experiences necessary for individual research.

Now known as Steiner or Waldorf education, his pedagogy emphasizes a balanced development of cognitive, affective / artistic, and practical skills ( head, heart, and hands ).

According to Steiner, he also introduced Steiner to a person that Steiner only identified as a “ Master ”, and who had a great influence on Steiner's subsequent development, in particular directing him to study Fichte's philosophy.

Spiritual training is to support what Steiner considered the overall purpose of human evolution, the development of the mutually interdependent qualities of love and freedom.

Steiner hoped to form a spiritual movement that would free the individual from any external authority: " The most important problem of all human thinking is this: to comprehend the human being as a personality grounded in him or herself.

Steiner believed he had thus located the origin of free will in our thinking, and in particular in sense-free thinking.

Steiner believed in the possibility of applying the clarity of scientific thinking to spiritual experience, which he saw as deriving from an objectively existing spiritual world.

Steiner identified mathematics, which attains certainty through thinking itself, thus through inner experience rather than empirical observation, as the basis of his epistemology of spiritual experience.

Peter Schneider calls such objections untenable on the grounds that if a non-sensory, non-physical realm exists, then according to Steiner the experiences of pure thinking possible within the normal realm of consciousness would already be experiences of that, and it would be impossible to exclude the possibility of empirically grounded experiences of other supersensory content.

Steiner postulates that the world is essentially an indivisible unity, but that our consciousness divides it into the sense-perceptible appearance, on the one hand, and the formal nature accessible to our thinking, on the other.

Albert Schweitzer wrote that he and Steiner had in common that they had " taken on the life mission of working for the emergence of a true culture enlivened by the ideal of humanity and to encourage people to become truly thinking beings ".
