Toddlers to fund POF work

Submitted by Tom Last on Thu, 10/22/2009 - 10:59pm.



Toddlers have come forward to fund the POF website and work. They have offered cash in exchange for snacks and play. "This home business will allow me to work at home and give me the time to philosophize," Tom said today while changing a diaper. "I have always believed in the younger generation and thought they were the generation that could embrace The Philosophy of Freedom, so it seems appropriate that they would be the ones to keep things afloat." Tom plans to provide care for up to 6 toddlers and preschoolers.

POF, Hoernle translation, typed out.

Digital version will be posted here as each chapter is done to help with the translation project and likely at the Rudolf Steiner Archive when done making it available to everybody.

Submitted by Tom Last on Sat, 09/26/2009 - 2:08pm.

Translation Project: Revise the original 1916 Hoernle English translation for better clarity and to make the text and style more contemporary while maintaining accuracy. This is the only English translation of The Philosophy of Freedom Rudolf Steiner personally authorized and was aware of. The other translations were done after his passing.
