Hello!

Submitted by Jay Harms on Tue, 08/07/2007 - 2:35pm.

Hello - thought I would be the first to post here. This site, Rudolf Steiner on his book The Philosophy of Freedom,  is based on a simple idea

- if anyone has found any quotes from Steiner of his book POF that are NOT found in the book "Steiner on POF" they are more than welcome to list them on this site.

Hopefully, over time, this site will become a catalogue of Steiner's comments on POF.

POF quote

So far as was possible at that time and in that context, I indicated this inner relation of Thought and World-reality in my ‘Philosophy of Freedom.’ It is in the passage of that book where I say that there is indeed a bridge leading from the thinking Ego's depths to the depths of Nature's reality.

This is one in Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts GA26

R.Steiner about the basic points made in PoF

Having characterized the people attracted to anthroposophy, what has been the response of anthroposophy to their endeavours? Anyone with sufficient interest can find the principles of anthroposophy in my 'Philosophy of Freedom". I wish to emphasize that this refers with inner logic to a spiritual realm which is, for example, the source of our moral impulses.

The existence of a spiritual realm takes concrete form when human beings develop an awareness that their innermost being is not connected to the sensory world but to the spiritual world. These are the two basic points made in The Philosophy of Freedom: first, that there is a spiritual realm and, second, that the innermost part of a persons being is connected to this spiritual realm.
