Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner (25/27 February 1861 – 30 March 1925) was an Austrian philosopher,

social reformer, architect, and esotericist. Steiner gained initial recognition at the end of the nineteenth century

as a literary critic and published philosophical works including The Philosophy of Freedom.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, he founded a spiritual movement, anthroposophy,

with roots in German idealist philosophy and theosophy; other influences include Goethean science and Rosicrucianism.

In the first, more philosophically oriented phase of this movement,

Steiner attempted to find a synthesis between science and spirituality; his philosophical work of these years,

which he termed spiritual science, sought to apply the clarity of thinking characteristic

of Western philosophy to spiritual questions, differentiating this approach from what he

considered to be vaguer approaches to mysticism. In a second phase, beginning around 1907,

he began working collaboratively in a variety of artistic media, including drama,

the movement arts (developing a new artistic form, eurythmy) and architecture,

culminating in the building of the Goetheanum, a cultural centre to house all the arts.

In the third phase of his work, beginning after World War I, Steiner worked to establish various practical endeavors,

including Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, and anthroposophical medicine.

Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual approach.

He based his epistemology on Johann Wolfgang Goethe\'s world view, in which \"Thinking … is no more

and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds,

so thinking perceives ideas.\" A consistent thread that runs from his earliest philosophical phase through

his later spiritual orientation is the goal of demonstrating that there are no essential limits to human knowledge.

Anthroposophy, a philosophy founded by Rudolf Steiner, postulates the existence of an objective,

intellectually comprehensible spiritual world accessible to direct experience through inner development.

More specifically, it aims to develop faculties of perceptive imagination,

inspiration and intuition through the cultivation of a form of thinking independent of sensory experience,

and to present the results thus derived in a manner subject to rational verification. With a belief in a spiritual world,

anthroposophy aims to attain the precision and clarity attained by the natural sciences in their investigations of the physical world.

Anthroposophical ideas have been applied practically in many areas including Steiner/Waldorf education,

special education (most prominently through the Camphill Movement),

biodynamic agriculture, medicine, ethical banking, organizational development, and the arts.

The Anthroposophical Society has its international center at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.

The Theosophical Society was officially formed in New York City, United States, in November 1875by Helena Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge and others.
Its initial objective was the \"study and elucidation of Occultism, the Cabala etc.\"
After a few years Olcott and Blavatsky moved to India and established the International
Headquarters at Adyar, in Madras (Chennai). They were also interested in studying
Eastern religions, and these were included in the Society\'s agenda.
