Synopsis "The Spiritual Guidance of Man and Mankind: Lectures"

Rudolf Steiners' vast body of literary work includes not a small number of lectures and compilations of lectures such as this one. Primarily concerning itself with the evolution of mankind (and with the pre-modern theories of Blavatskys' time) it claims a sort of stage-by-stage descent away from the cosmic but towards an improved mankind increasingly able to reason and potentially grasp true spiritual principles. That is, that archaic man had direct help in the post-Atlantis period (as he deems it) from higher beings.It speaks in some degree of Galileo, Bruno, and Kepler, among other various figures.

Rudolf Steiner (Donji Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire, now Croatia, February 25 or 27, 1861-Dornach, Switzerland, March 30, 1925) was an Austrian philosopher, literary scholar, educator, artist, playwright, social thinker, and occultist. He was the founder of anthroposophy, Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, anthroposophic medicine, and the new artistic form of eurythmy.

He described anthroposophy as follows: Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge that would like to lead the spiritual in man to the spiritual in the universe. Those who feel certain questions about the essence of man and the world as a vital necessity as the one felt when we are hungry and thirsty can be anthroposophists.

Steiner proposed a form of ethical individualism, to which he later added a more explicitly spiritual component. He derived his epistemology from the worldview of Johann Wolfgang Goethe, according to which thought is an organ of perception just like the eye or the ear. Just as the eye perceives colors and the ear sounds, so thought perceives ideas.
