Extending Practical Medicine - Fundamental Principles Based on the Science of the Spirit

Informationen zum Autor Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe's scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical principles into an approach to systematic research into psychological and spiritual phenomena. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy, spiritual research, and findings. The influence of Steiner's multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs, threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland. Klappentext In this classic introductory work on spiritual medicine, Rudolf Steiner worked in unique literary, collaboration with the physician Ita Wegman. Their aim was to revitalize the art of healing through spiritual knowledge -- yet, in so doing, they did not underrate or dismiss modern scientific medicine but illumined it beyond its present materialistic outlook to a fuller realization of the human condition. Today this new extension of practical medicine, known as "anthroposophical medicine," is used and valued by many physicians around the world.
