About This Item
Forest Row, UK : Rudolf Steiner Press, 2009. Edition Not Stated. Softcover. Good Condition. Octavo. Binding is tight and spine is fully intact Some tiny foxed spots on endpapers All edges neat and clean Card cover corners slightly bumped The path of an individual human life, our biography, is a kind of mystery. Despite the abundance of published biographies and autobiographies of celebrities and historical figures, scientific study of human biography remains in its infancy, with little understanding of the inherent laws in the path of an individual’s life. Yet as Rudolf Steiner shows here, every biography―regardless of one’s place in life or a person’s perceived importance or success―is ruled by archetypal influences, patterns and laws.
This broad-ranging anthology addresses critical and still-unanswered questions: What are the effects of education―especially contrasting educational methods―on later life? How are the stages of one’s life interrelated? Do the effects of events on the individual become immediately evident, or is their true impact delayed, perhaps for decades? To what extent can we shape the stages of our individual biographies? How much freedom of choice do we have, and how much of life is predetermined?
Drawing on his capacity for higher knowledge through spiritual research, Steiner describes the human individuality as a being with a continuing existence, both before birth and beyond death. Our eternal being experiences a myriad of conditions and situations, the effects of which may be observed in one’s biography. This book addresses these and other issues such as freedom and destiny, the effects of heredity, illness, and the impact of education, offering answers based on a profound knowledge of the human being.
