 Study of The Philosophy of Freedom can be difficult as it is a brief outline that requires the reader to fill in and add something more. One approach is to decipher the book through careful reading with the help of intuitive insights. Another is to connect the descriptions given with your own experience of thinking. Tom from montalk.net says: Rudolf Steiner’s Philosophy of Freedom gets to the core of intuitive thinking, freewill, and transcendence. Steiner wrote it in a manner meant to exercise both intuition and the intellect, thus it is very difficult to read and understand. I had an easier time figuring out these same concepts myself through intuitive thinking than deciphering them from the book, and only afterwards did I get what Steiner was talking about since I had already reasoned it out on my own. Still, it is a rewarding work for anyone looking for a mental and intuitive workout, and the concepts it covers have far-reaching implications. |
