In his dissertation, published in expanded form in 1892 as <i>Truth and Knowledge</i>, Steiner suggests that there is an inconsistency between Kant's philosophy, which posits that all knowledge is a representation of an essential verity inaccessible to human consciousness, and modern science, which assumes that all influences can be found in the sensory and mental world to which we have access. Steiner considered Kant's philosophy of an inaccessible beyond ("Jenseits-Philosophy") a stumbling block in achieving a satisfying philosophical viewpoint.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEStorr199772_145-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEStorr199772-145"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>144<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Steiner postulates that the world is essentially an indivisible unity, but that our <a href="/wiki/Consciousness" title="Consciousness">consciousness</a> divides it into the <a href="/wiki/Senses" class="mw-redirect" title="Senses">sense</a>-perceptible appearance, on the one hand, and the formal nature accessible to our <a href="/wiki/Thinking" class="mw-redirect" title="Thinking">thinking</a>, on the other. He sees in thinking itself an element that can be strengthened and deepened sufficiently to penetrate all that our senses do not reveal to us. Steiner thus considered what appears to human experience as a division between the spiritual and natural worlds to be a conditioned result of the structure of our consciousness, which separates <a href="/wiki/Perception" title="Perception">perception</a> and thinking. These two faculties give us not two worlds, but two complementary views of the same world; neither has primacy and the two together are necessary and sufficient to arrive at a complete understanding of the world.

It was, however, no mere playing with words and ideas, but a serious attempt to resolve real problems: the nature and destiny of the human race, the problem of *evil, the human predicament. To a gnostic it brought a release and joy and hope, as if awakening from a nightmare. One later offshoot, Manicheism, became for a time a world religion, reaching as far as China, and there are at least elements of gnosticism in such medieval movements as those of the Bogomiles and the Cathari. Gnostic influence has been seen in various works of modern literature, such as those of William Blake and W. B. Yeats, and is also to be found in the Theosophy of Madame Blavatsky and the Anthroposophy of Rudolph Steiner. Gnosticism was of lifelong interest to the psychologist C. G. *Jung, and one of the Nag Hammadi codices (the Jung Codex) was for a time in the Jung Institute in Zurich.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=Gnosticism&amp;rft.btitle=The+Oxford+Companion+to+the+Bible&amp;rft.series=Oxford+Companions&amp;rft.pages=256&amp;rft.pub=Oxford+University+Press&amp;rft.date=1993&amp;rft.isbn=978-0-19-974391-9&amp;rft.aulast=McL.+Wilson&amp;rft.aufirst=Robert&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DY2KGVuym5OUC%26pg%3DPA256&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ARudolf+Steiner" class="Z3988"></span></li><li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFBraune2014" class="citation book cs1">Braune, Joan (2014). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=TfibBQAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA52"><i>Erich Fromm’s Revolutionary Hope: Prophetic Messianism as a Critical Theory of the Future</i></a>.

These groups feel that the love of India and its mysteries which grew up after Isis Unveiled was unfortunate for a Western group. In this category there are several Neo-Gnostic and Neo-Rosicrucian groups. The Anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner is also in this category. On the other hand, there are what may be termed "new revelation" Theosophical schisms, generally based on new revelations from the Masters not accepted by the main traditions. In this set would be Alice Bailey's groups, "I Am," and in a sense Max Heindel's Rosicrucianism.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=book&amp;rft.btitle=Religious+and+Spiritual+Groups+in+Modern+America&amp;rft.pages=unpaginated&amp;rft.edition=2nd&amp;rft.pub=Taylor+%26+Francis&amp;rft.date=2016&amp;rft.isbn=978-1-315-50723-1&amp;rft.aulast=Ellwood&amp;rft.aufirst=Robert&amp;rft.au=Partin%2C+Harry&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DoWN4DQAAQBAJ&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ARudolf+Steiner" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-21"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-21">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Sources for 'pseudoscientific':<div><ul><li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFGardner1957" class="citation book cs1">Gardner, Martin (1957) [1952]. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=TwP3SGAUsnkC&amp;pg=PA169"><i>Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science</i></a>.

In essence, the anthroposophists' approach to the soil is like their approach to the human body—a variation of homeopathy. (See Steiner's <i>An Outline of Anthroposophical Medical Research</i>, English translation, 1939, for an explanation of how mistletoe, when properly prepared, will cure cancer by absorbing "etheric forces" and strengthening the "astral body.")

The research by Dr Sam confirms the details. Rudolf Steiner studied for eight semesters at the Technical University in Vienna - as a student in the General Department, which was there in addition to the engineering, construction, mechanical engineering and chemical schools. The general department comprised all subjects that could not be clearly assigned to one of these four existing technical schools. Around 1880 this included mathematics, descriptive geometry, physics, as well as general and supplementary subjects such as German language and literature, history, art history, economics, legal subjects, languages, The students in the General Department - unlike their fellow students in the specialist departments - neither had to complete a fixed curriculum nor take a final or state examination. They did not have to and could not - because that was not intended for this department, nor was the "<a href="/wiki/Absolutorium" title="Absolutorium">Absolutorium</a>". Final state examinations at the Vienna University of Technology only began in the academic year 1878/79. The paper reports how at that time, the so-called ‘individual examinations’ in the subjects studied seemed to be of greater importance and were reported first in the 'Annual Report of the Technical University 1879/80' - sorted according to the faculties of the Technical University. Steiner was in fact amongst the best student on these grounds and was cited by the University as one of its distinguished alumni. The records for the examinations he sat are on record as is the scholarship record.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEAhern2009-34"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEAhern2009_34-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFAhern2009">Ahern 2009</a>.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-35"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-35">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="/w/index.php?title=Alfred_Heidenreich&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Alfred Heidenreich (page does not exist)">Alfred Heidenreich</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://southerncrossreview.org/36/heidenreich.htm">Rudolf Steiner – A Biographical Sketch</a></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-ZanderBio-36"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-ZanderBio_36-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFZander2011" class="citation book cs1 cs1-prop-foreign-lang-source">Zander, Helmut (2011). <i>Rudolf Steiner: Die Biografie</i> (in German).

It can be noted that insiders routinely deny that Anthroposophy is a religion and prefer to characterise it as, for example, a philosophical perspective or a form of science. From a scholarly perspective, however, Anthroposophy has all the elements that one typically associates with a religion, for example, a charismatic founder whose status is based on claims of having direct insight into a normally invisible spiritual dimension of existence, a plethora of culturally postulated suprahuman beings that are said to influence our lives, concepts of an afterlife, canonical texts and rituals. Religions whose members deny that the movement they belong to has anything to do with religion are not uncommon in the modern age, but the reason for this is a matter that goes beyond the confines of this article.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=article&amp;rft.jtitle=Approaching+Religion&amp;rft.atitle=Soft+charisma+as+an+impediment+to+fundamentalist+discourse%3A+The+case+of+the+Anthroposophical+Society+in+Sweden&amp;rft.volume=12&amp;rft.issue=2&amp;rft.pages=18-37&amp;rft.date=2022-06-14&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.30664%2Far.113383&amp;rft.issn=1799-3121&amp;rft.aulast=Swartz&amp;rft.aufirst=Karen&amp;rft.au=Hammer%2C+Olav&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.30664%252Far.113383&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ARudolf+Steiner" class="Z3988"></span></li><li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFHammerSwartz-Hammer2024" class="citation book cs1">Hammer, Olav; Swartz-Hammer, Karen (2024). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=lkn8EAAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA62">"NRMs in Comparative Perspective"</a>. <i>New Religious Movements and Comparative Religion</i>.

From an insider's perspective, however, "anthroposophy is not a religion, nor is it meant to be a substitute for religion. While its insights may support, illuminate or complement religious practice, it provides no belief system" (from the Waldorf school website www.waldorfanswers.com/NotReligion1.htm, accessed 9 October 2011). The contrast between a scholarly and an insiders' perspective on what constitutes religion is highlighted by the clinching warrant for this assertion. Although the website argues that Anthroposophy is not a religion by stating that there are no spiritual teachers and no beliefs, it does so by adding a reference to a text by Steiner, who thus functions as an unquestioned authority figure.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=Rudolf+Steiner+and+Theosophy&amp;rft.btitle=Handbook+of+the+Theosophical+Current&amp;rft.series=Brill+Handbooks+on+Contemporary+Religion&amp;rft.pages=113+fn.+1&amp;rft.pub=Brill&amp;rft.date=2013&amp;rft.isbn=978-90-04-23597-7&amp;rft.aulast=Brandt&amp;rft.aufirst=Katharina&amp;rft.au=Hammer%2C+Olav&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3D0VozAQAAQBAJ%26pg%3DPA113&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ARudolf+Steiner" class="Z3988"></span></li><li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFHammer2008" class="citation book cs1">Hammer, Olav (2008).

In <i>Urania's Children</i> (p. 209), Howe also recommends Wolfgang Treher's psychiatric pathology <i>Hitler, Steiner, Schreber&#160;: Ein Beitrag zur Phänomenologie des kranken Geistes</i> (1966), which explores 'delusions of grandeur frequently demonstrated by schizophrenics and the tendency of those suffering from mental illness to assume a prophetic mantle'.

Symptoms include persistent and obsessive belief that they have made outstandingly important scientific, philosophical and cultural discoveries . . . compulsive desire for an audience and for opportunities to communicate their "message" . . . brutality (to their "patients") ... creation of personal "sects" ... disproprotionate belief in their own geniuses.'<span class="cs1-kern-right"></span></q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=book&amp;rft.btitle=Orthodox+Heresy+%3A+The+Rise+of+%27Magic%27+as+Religion+and+its+Relation+to+Literature&amp;rft.place=London&amp;rft.pages=277+fn.+21&amp;rft.pub=Palgrave+Macmillan+UK&amp;rft.date=1989&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1007%2F978-1-349-19669-2&amp;rft.isbn=978-1-349-19671-5&amp;rft.aulast=Martin&amp;rft.aufirst=Stoddard&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ARudolf+Steiner" class="Z3988"></span><span class="cs1-maint citation-comment"><code class="cs1-code">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Cite_book" title="Template:Cite book">cite book</a>}}</code>: CS1 maint: DOI inactive as of November 2024 (<a href="/wiki/Category:CS1_maint:_DOI_inactive_as_of_November_2024" title="Category:CS1 maint: DOI inactive as of November 2024">link</a>)</span></li><li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFHowe1968" class="citation book cs1">Howe, Ellic (1968). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=sDVDAAAAIAAJ"><i>Astrology: a Recent History Including the Untold Story of Its Role in World War II</i></a>.

Steiners nationalistische, antijüdische und rassistische Vorstellungen notierten um 1920 nicht einmal linke Kritiker wie Ernst Bloch Oder Siegfried Kracauer, aber sie sickern zum Beispiel auch noch in die jüngere Waldorf-Literatur ein und führen seit den 1990er Jahren periodisch zu erbitterten wissenschaftlichen, journalistischen und juristischen Auseinandersetzungen. Die Argumente Sind seit Jahrzehnten ausgetauscht, das Andauern der Debatte gleicht einem Sich wahnsinnig weiterdrehenden Hamsterrad. Anthroposophen reagieren dabei stets reaktiv auf externe Kritik. Dass Steiner Sich von den wilden Rassisten des 19. Jahrhunderts distanzierte, wird manchen seiner heutigen Anhänger zur Ausrede, um seinen eigenen, spirituell-paternalistischen Rassismus in der Gegenwart schönzureden.<sup>4</sup> Einer überschaubaren Anzahl kritischer Aufsätze<sup>5</sup> stehen monographische Hetzschriften gegenüber, die Kritiker des „gezielten, vorsätzlich unternommenen Rufmords"<sup>6</sup> bezichtigen. Derweil sprechen Sich die anthroposophischen Dachverbände, wenn die Kritik allzu laut wird, in formelhaften Allgemeinplätzen gegen Rassismus aus und gestehen vage, zeitbedingte' Formulierungen Steiners zu.<sup>7</sup> Überhaupt dreht Sich die Diskussion zu oft um Steiner. Es Sind jüngere Beiträge, die seine Stereotype in die Gegenwart transportieren.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=book&amp;rft.btitle=Rassismus%3A+Von+der+fr%C3%BChen+Bundesrepublik+bis+zur+Gegenwart&amp;rft.pages=unpaginated&amp;rft.pub=De+Gruyter&amp;rft.date=2022&amp;rft.isbn=978-3-11-070278-1&amp;rft.aulast=Martins&amp;rft.aufirst=Ansgar&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DB7efEAAAQBAJ%26pg%3DPT582&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ARudolf+Steiner" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-confirm-233"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-confirm_233-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFHammer2016" class="citation journal cs1">Hammer, Olav (2016). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.jstor.org/stable/24644844">"Between Occultism and Nazism: Anthroposophy and the Politics of Race in the Fascist Era, written by Peter Staudenmaier"</a>. <i>Numen</i>. <b>63</b> (1).

Oktober 1918 datiertes Vorwort verfaßte, sich also einen Monat vor dem Waffenstillstand und inmitten des Zusammenbruchs des Deutschen Reiches äußerte. »Die Geheimgesellschaften der Entente-Länder«, hieß es dort, hätten eine »die Weltkatastrophe vorbereitende politische Gesinnung und Beeinflussung der Weltereignisse«&#160;an den Tag gelegt. Bei der Suche nach der »Schuld am Weltkriege«&#160;habe man auch an die Freimaurer zu denken. Dies war nicht nur eine reduktive Lösung der »Kriegsschuldfrage«&#160;im Jahr 1918, sondern möglicherweise auch ein Hinweis auf seine Motivlage im Jahr 1914: Steiner hätte sich dann aus Solidarität mit Deutschland aus dem Internationalismus der Freimaurerei verabschiedet<sup>179</sup>.
