Philosophical Speculations

Thanks Dana, I will check it out tonight and try to post some feedback. I have been looking at some more Goethe Wisdom for an essay, and it's just endlessly enjoyable to contemplate his poetry, aphorisms, science, etc. So around 13 min., we come to Sattler's claim that Steiner did not really percei...

This is really great feedback and I agree, thanks. “Unconscious” is a bit of a misnomer anyway. Do you have any book recommendations for this? I do, but, since you are already familiar with BK idealist framework, I think it would be best for you to check out Cleric's essay on this forum - Beyond th...

Now, look, I have no doubt that many people who respect Steiner believe that they have empirical evidence that validates his claims. But before I point out what might be somewhat problematic with such a methodology, I wonder if anybody knows which lecture this was specifically. My hunch is that it ...

I said "practicing", friends! Anyway, what I know about Soul is that he's super smart and great at managing this site. I know I sometimes annoy him. And I actually feel bad I don't remember which lectures specifically were the ones to the French dudes. I'll see if a google search can help...

Soul said: "I do have to wonder about why you resort to all these cryptic references. First we have those unprovided, unspecified points that Steiner told with French physicists. Then the mention of twin psychics who shall remain nameless, even though there's a good chance we know who they are...

Hi all, I'm working on a thesis for my design MFA. My topic is about the role of the unconscious in design. My conviction is that design operates at an unconscious level. The most salient designs throughout history are archetypal and not the result of deliberate, conscious planning –crosses, mandal...

It made me much more sensitive to when Steiner slides into various kinds of subtle dualism. Steiner wasn't a dualists but like all actual humans he was susceptible to falling back into the more subtle aspects of it now and then. Should I even ask for you to provide examples to back up the above cla...

So that's where I am at with it and I'd be interested to hear your view on Abraxas and how it might sit within idealism and certainly Schop's notion. No need for a detailed technical analysis, the general will do fine. I like to start simple and see the broad strokes before I stick my head underwat...
