Synopsis "Results of Spiritual Research: (Cw 62) (in English)"
14 public lectures, Berlin, Oct. 31, 1912 - Apr. 10, 1913 (CW 62)"...it has been a kind of undertone of these winter lectures consistently to emphasize the achievements and results of the intellectual life and aspirations of the nineteenth century; for if one considers the way that the intellectual life and aspirations of the nineteenth century have taken hold of humanity and have brought about the great triumph of material existence, it can truly be said that it would necessarily seem to be a hopeless undertaking if this spiritual science under discussion here were to reject or set itself in opposition to the justified requirements of natural science or, indeed, the intellectual and spiritual achievements of the nineteenth century." -- Rudolf Steiner (Apr. 10, 1913)In a previously unavailable series of talks to the general public, Rudolf Steiner builds systematically, lecture by lecture, on the fundamentals of spiritual science--from the nature of spiritual knowledge and its relationship to conventional science to the path of personal development and the task of metaphysical research, as well as specific questions on the mystery of death, the meaning of fairytales, the significance of morality, and the roles of individual figures in human evolution, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Jakob Böhme.At the time of these presentations, Steiner had worked in Berlin for many years, and was thus able to "reckon with a regularly returning audience to whom what mattered was to enter ever more deeply into the areas of knowledge that were newly opening up to them" (Marie Steiner). As a consequence--and through "a series of interconnecting lectures whose themes are entwined with one another"--he was able to communicate a coherent and challenging spiritual perception of reality based on his personal research.These important lectures are presented with notes, an index, and an introduction by Simon Blaxland-de Lange.This volume is a translation from German of Ergebnisse der Geistesforschung (GA 62).

Rudolf Steiner (Donji Kraljevec, Imperio austrohúngaro, hoy Croacia, 25 o 27 de febrero de 18611-Dornach, Suiza, 30 de marzo de 1925) fue un filósofo austriaco, erudito literario, educador, artista, autor teatral, pensador social y ocultista. Fue el fundador de la antroposofía, la educación Waldorf, la agricultura biodinámica, la medicina antroposófica5 y de la nueva forma artística de la euritmia.
Describió la antroposofía como sigue: La antroposofía es un sendero de conocimiento que quisiera conducir lo espiritual en el hombre a lo espiritual en el universo. Pueden ser antropósofos quienes sienten determinadas cuestiones sobre la esencia del hombre y del mundo como una necesidad tan vital como la que se siente cuando tenemos hambre y sed.
Steiner propuso una forma de individualismo ético, al que luego añadió un componente más explícitamente espiritual. Derivó su epistemología de la visión del mundo de Johann Wolfgang Goethe, según la cual el pensamiento es un órgano de percepción al igual que el ojo o el oído. Del mismo modo que el ojo percibe colores y el oído sonidos, así el pensamiento percibe ideas.
