There slumber in every human being faculties by means of which he can acquire for himself a knowledge of higher worlds. Mystics, Gnostics, and Theosophists all speak of a world of soul and spirit which for them is just as real as the world we see with our physical eyes and touch with our physical hands.

Only he who understands life will be able to take his lessons from life itself. He will draw up no capricious schemes, for he knows that no other fundamental laws of life will prevail in the future than such as prevail in the present. Theosophy will therefore of necessity have respect for the existing state of things. Even, should it still find in what is existent, very much that might be improved, yet it will not fail to perceive in the present the germs of the future. But it knows, too, that for all things nascent there is a growth and a development.

Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment or How to Know the Higher Worlds is Steiner’s most essential guide to the modern path of initiation he advocated throughout his life. It has been translated into many languages and has inspired hundreds of thousands around the world. With great clarity and warmth, Rudolf Steiner details the exercises and moral qualities to be cultivated on the path to a conscious experience of supersensible realities. 

The Way of Initiation: Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment is Rudolf Steiner’s guide to the initiate of any esoteric belief system. Essential for the novice and complimentary to the adept, this text elucidates a path through the inner self as a method to access higher planes of existence.

In the beginning, form was given to all created things by the Gods. This power of giving form has passed from the Gods to men, in so far as the mineral kingdom is concerned. In ancient traditions it was taught that man must accomplish the task of transforming the Earth in fulfillment of a threefold goal, namely the realization of truth, beauty, goodness. It is for man to make the Earth into a temple of truth, beauty, and goodness. And then, those who come after him will look upon his work as we now look upon the mineral world which came forth from the hands of the Gods.

When Rudolf Steiner gave these lectures 80 years ago, industrial farming was on the rise and organic methods were being replaced in the name of science, efficiency, and technology. With the widespread alarm over the quality of food in recent years, and the growth of the organic movement and its mainstream acceptance, perceptions are changing. The qualitative aspect of food is once again on the agenda, and in this context Rudolf Steiner's only course of lectures on agriculture is critical to the current debate.

The object of these lectures is to place before you an idea of the Christ-Event in so far as it is connected with the historical appearance of the Christ in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. So many questions of the spiritual life are bound up with this subject that the choice of it will enable us to make a wide survey of the realm of Spiritual Science and its mission, and to discuss the significance of the Anthroposophical Movement for the spiritual life of the present time.

Originally published in 1894, Rudolf Steiner's Die Philosophie der Freiheit was considered by Steiner to be his most enduring work above all others. This is the first English translation, which was done in 1916. Two years later, in 1918, he revised it to be more in line with The Theosophical Society's philosophy. In many ways, this edition is truer to his spirit then all other translations, including some of the modern ones.

Due saggi di Steiner sulla teoria della conoscenza: il primo sostiene e spiega la teoria della conoscenza di Goethe, il secondo approfondisce la teoria della conoscenza di Kant e di Fichte, per dimostrarne il vizio dovuto a presupposti, e portarsi ad un gradino più avanzato, che è preliminare alla vera e propria filosofia di Steiner: la filosofia della libertà.

Rudolf Steiner pubblicò sulla sua rivista i vari capitoli della sua autobiografia. Nella storia della sua vita si pone particolare attenzione a come il suo percorso di persona che già vedeva il mondo spirituale lo portò a interfacciarsi con la realtà fisica, finché poi cercò di introdurre, con l'edificio dell'Antroposofia, coloro che vedevano solo attraverso i sensi ad una strada che li portasse alla visione spirituale.

"L'éducation de l'enfant" nous permet de comprendre les fondements de la pédagogie de Rudolf Steiner. L'art d'éduquer dans le respect des forces spirituelles à l'oeuvre dans l'enfant, en accompagnement les rythmes qui orchestrent son évolution dans ses différents corps (physique, éthérique, astrale), tel est l'essence même de cette pédagogie. Steiner critiqua farouchement l'éducation basée sur une approche trop matérialiste et intellectuelle, il invita ses auditeurs à une investigation plus poussée de la science spirituelle.

Queste undici conferenze, tenute a Oslo nel 1910, in origine non erano destinate alla pubblicazione, né furono riviste da Steiner, per cui lui stesso mette in guardia contro la possibilità di errori. L'argomento trattato è il ruolo degli Arcangeli nella guida delle anime di popolo, con particolare riferimento alla mitologia germanico-nordica.
