Goethes Weltanschauung

by Rudolf Steiner

Overview

Goethes Weltanschauung Rudolf Steiner - Will man Goethes Weltanschauung verstehen, so darf man sich nicht damit begnügen, hinzuhorchen, was er selbst in einzelnen Aussprüchen über sie sagt. In kristallklaren Sätzen den Kern seines Wesens auszusprechen, lag nicht in seiner Natur. Er hatte eine gewisse Scheu davor, das Lebendige, die Wirklichkeit in einem durchsichtigen Gedanken festzuhalten. Sein Innenleben, seine Beziehungen zur Außenwelt, seine Beobachtungen über die Dinge und Ereignisse waren zu reich, zu erfüllt von zarten Bestandteilen, von intimen Elementen, um von ihm selbst in einfache Formeln gebracht zu werden.

About the Author

Rudolf Steiner (Feb. 27, 1861-Mar. 30, 1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austria (now in Croatia) in 1861 and died in Dornach, Switzerland in 1925. In university, he concentrated on mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Having written his thesis on philosophy, Steiner earned his doctorate and was later drawn into literary and scholarly circles and participated in the rich social and political life of Vienna.During the 1890s, Steiner worked for seven years in Weimar at the Goethe archive, where he edited Goethe's scientific works and collaborated in a complete edition of Schopenhauer's work. Weimar was a center of European culture at the time, which allowed Steiner to meet many prominent artists and cultural figures. In 1894 Steiner published his first important work, Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path: A Philosophy of Freedom, now published as one of the Classics in Anthroposophy.When Steiner left Weimar, he went to Berlin where he edited an avant-garde literary magazine. Again he involved himself in the rich, rapidly changing culture of a city that had become the focus of many radical groups and movements. Steiner gave courses on history and natural science and offered practical training in public speaking. He refused to adhere to the particular ideology of any political group, which did not endear him to the many activists then in Berlin.
