Philosophical Speculations

Final comments. It seems a common defense mechanism in this area is to lose all ability to distinguish writing styles and accuse two people of being the same person : ) Yeah... even if it's sad, I have to admit that I laughed when I saw that :D Exactly, I remember that Jim Cross argued a similar th...

That's an interesting project, Federica. I hope it helps for your orientation. By the way, Luke brought my attention to this interesting YT channel that focuses on Steiner. There are a couple of videos about his thoughts on mistranslations in PoF (Wilson translation), which seemed to make sense to ...

By the way, this gives me an idea for a small new project. First I thought I would order a printed version of the book, but here's what I'll do instead: today I'll buy a new notebook and I'll start transcribing PoF, with the intention to progress daily. I will pick the 1964 Michael Wilson translati...

Again on PoF, I was recently offered this Steiner quote, from GA 103 The Gospel of John - Part XII The Nature of the Virgin Sophia and of the Holy Spirit which in turn I'd like to bring to the attention of anyone who recognizes, or at least senses, the cardinal value of this work: "A person can...

From here, either something extraordinary is about to happen (I have seen that someone has just been visiting the essay link) or a final rebuttal comment is about to be dropped :) I joined in with a comment as well: Thanks, Ashvin.

I finally decided to add this as a comment to the geoengineering essay : "Marco, supposing there’s agreement that, from the perspective of a post-material worldview, reality at its core is of ideal nature, and the material world - including the climatic events Earth manifests in time - is the ...

I will soon read Steiner's Human Life in the Light of Spiritual Science . He gives it as a short manual for practical communication of spiritual science. As I understand it, it's about how the many can integrate spiritual science in everyday life, in a concrete way, before any level higher cognitio...

...Even as there is no contradiction between natural science and Spiritual Science, so is there no justification for saying that Spiritual Science contradicts the life of religion . In this connection I brought out points of importance in the first lecture I gave here. It is my conviction that no o...

The discussion got a few more back and forths, but going nowhere so far - tyvärr (too bad). Though I've borrowed various expressions from Cleric's and Ashvin's vocabulary, I've tried to come up with some new ones as well, and so I submit: "the smorgasbord approach", and spirituality as &qu...
