Rudolf Steiner: The British Connection

- Elements from His Early Life and Cultural Development

Om Rudolf Steiner: The British Connection

Following his major work on Rudolf Steiner's ten visits to Britain, Crispian Villeneuve studies Steiner's relationship to the British Isles during the approximately forty years before those visits. The theme of Steiner's early connection to British culture leads inevitably to the broader topic of his relationship to modern science. This in turn highlights the polarity and tension between the Goethean philosophic view that arises from Central Europe, and the "Baconian" perspective emanating from Western Europe.Interweaving these contrasting Baconian and Goethean worldviews, Villeneuve presents numerous primary texts--often culled from obscure sources and many previously unavailable in English--with commentary on Rudolf Steiner and the nineteenth century. We learn about Steiner's teachers, Karl Julius Schröer and Edmund Reitlinger, as well as English polymath William Whewell, perhaps the greatest admirer of Francis Bacon in recorded history, though he maintained numerous connections to Central Europe.Crispian Villeneuve offers genuinely new and valuable research into the early life and thought of one of the greatest cultural innovators of our time.
