Steiner emphasized that he considered this movement, and his role in creating it, to be independent of his anthroposophical work, as he wished anthroposophy to be independent of any particular religion or religious denomination.

While claims of racial bias in the writings of Rudolf Steiner and Alice Bailey were made, Bailey was firmly opposed to the Axis powers ; she believed that Adolf Hitler was possessed by the Dark Forces, and Steiner emphasized racial equality as a principle central to anthroposophical thought and humanity's progress.

Steiner emphasized that there is an objective natural and spiritual world that can be known, and that perceptions of the spiritual world and incorporeal beings are, under conditions of training comparable to that required for the natural sciences, including self-discipline, replicable by multiple observers.

Rudolf Steiner emphasized the importance of the four classical temperaments in elementary education, the time when he believed the influence of temperament on the personality to be at its strongest.

Josef Beuys ' work, itself heavily influenced by Steiner, has led to the modern understanding of Steiner's drawings as artistic objects.

Here Steiner suggests that there is an inconsistency between Kant's philosophy, which posits that knowledge is representation and that the essential verity of the world is inaccessible to human consciousness, and modern science, which assumes that all influences can be found in what Steiner termed the “ sinnlichen und geistlichen ” ( sensory and mental / spiritual ) world to which we have access.

This definition is relatively modern, generalizing the classical definition of Steiner systems which in addition required that k = t + 1.

In modern times, the Christian initiate / clairvoyant Rudolf Steiner ( 1861-1925 ) also held Christological views very similar to those of Cerinthus.

Rudolf Steiner, and subsequent theosophist authors, have called the time periods associated with these races, Epochs ( Steiner felt that the term " race " was not adequate anymore for modern humanity ).

In the interpretations of these and other vedic scholars, modern times ( 1700 – 1900 ) have witnessed the end of the dark Iron Age ( Kali Yuga ), a notion supported by Rudolf Steiner.

Rudolf Steiner wrote of the cultural evolution of Atlantis in much the same vein.

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.

Rudolf Steiner.

Here, Steiner developed a concept of free will based on inner experiences, especially those that occur in the creative activity of independent thought.

From 1900 on, thanks to the positive reception given to his ideas, Steiner focused increasingly on his work with the Theosophical Society becoming the secretary of its section in Germany in 1902.

By 1907, a split between Steiner and the mainstream Theosophical Society had begun to become apparent.

While the Society was oriented toward an Eastern and especially Indian approach, Steiner was trying to develop a path that embraced Christianity and natural science.

Steiner strongly objected and considered any comparison between Krishnamurti and Christ to be nonsense ; many years later, Krishnamurti also repudiated the assertion.

By this time, Steiner had reached considerable stature as a spiritual teacher.

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 died just over a year later, in 1925.

The Second World War temporarily hindered the anthroposophical movement in most of Continental Europe, as the Anthroposophical Society and most of its daughter movements ( e. g. Steiner / Waldorf education ) were banned by the National Socialists ( Nazis ); virtually no anthroposophists ever joined the National Socialist Party.

Authors whose usage predates Steiner's include occultist Agrippa von Nettesheim, alchemist Thomas Vaughn ( Anthroposophia Theomagica ), and philosophers Immanuel Hermann Fichte and Robert Zimmermann ( Anthroposophie im Umriss ); Steiner wrote his doctoral thesis on Fichte and attended Zimmermann's classes at the University of Vienna.

This requires developing new faculties of objective spiritual perception, which Steiner maintained was possible for humanity today.

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.

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.
