He   spoke to us about teachers who, freely and unitedly, unrestricted by external   prescription, develop their educational methods exclusively out of a thorough   knowledge of human nature. He spoke to us about a kind of knowledge needed by   the teacher, a knowledge of the being of man and the world, which is at the same   time scientific and also penetrates into the most intimate inner life, which is   intuitive and artistic.”\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003eThese lectures are among the best introductions to for   those who wish to explore the nature and implications of Waldorf   education.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e  \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoBodyText\"\u003eRudolf Steiner (1861–1925) became a respected and   well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, particularly   known for his work on Goethe’s scientific writings. At the beginning of the   twentieth century, he began to develop his earlier philosophical principles into   an approach to methodical research of psychological and spiritual phenomena. His   multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine,   philosophy, religion, education (Waldorf schools), special education (the   Camphill movement), economics, agriculture (biodynamics), science, architecture,   and the arts (drama, speech and eurythmy). In 1924 he founded the General   Anthroposophical Society, which has branches throughout the   world.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"SteinerBooks, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016027455728,"sku":"9780880105132","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780880105132_p0.jpg?v=1763847886","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780880105132","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
