Rudolf Steiner, the often undervalued, multifaceted genius of modern
times, contributed much to the regeneration of culture. In addition to
his philosophical teachings, he provided ideas for the development of
many practical activities, including education - both general and
special - agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science,
religion and the arts. Steiner's original contribution to human
knowledge was based on his ability to conduct 'spiritual research',
the investigation of metaphysical dimensions of existence. With his
scientific and philosophical training, he brought a new systematic
discipline to the field, allowing for conscious methods and
comprehensive results. A natural seer from childhood, he cultivated
his spiritual vision to a high degree, enabling him to speak with
authority on previously veiled mysteries of life.
Samples of Steiner's work are to be found in this introductory reader
in which Matthew Barton brings together excerpts from Steiner's many
talks and writings on Christmas. The volume also features an editorial
introduction, afterword, commentary and notes. Chapters: Christmas in
a Grevious Age; Christmas and the Earth; Delving to the Core; The
Child and the Tree; Towards a New Christmas.
