Rudolf Steiner’s Commitment to the Earth as a Living Being

Post by Mark »

A lecture from Ueli Hurter

I discussed the life path of Rudolf Steiner, born in Dornia Krajevic, Croatia, in 1861. His father was a railway worker, and the family moved often. Steiner became friends with Koschutzky, a herbalist, and they shared knowledge about elemental beings and nature's dynamic forces. Steiner later became a private teacher in a wealthy family in Vienna and moved to Weimar, where he edited Goethe's work on natural phenomena. He then moved to Berlin, where he worked as a teacher in a worker's school and became involved with the Theosophists. In 1913, he founded the first Goetheanum in Dornach, which burned down in 1922. After Steiner's passing in 1925, the second Goetheanum was built and opened in 1928. I also discussed Steiner's agricultural course in 1924, which introduced a new agriculture and a response to the industrial agriculture of Fritz Haber and Bosch.
