Philosophical Speculations

Here is Hueck eloquently expressing how to pursue and pariticipate the true Bridge in crystal-clearness :) "Mayr is right insofar as life eludes observation if one looks for it like an object. Precisely because life flows continuously, it cannot be a single thing (or a force acting only presently ...

I'll give now a real-life exemple of how to concretely start building that bridge, in the words of a present-day anthroposopher, who has not let those wishes of Steiner's unheard and unworked. One would expect that you appreciate his work - I'm referring to Christoph Hueck - based on your past ...

The one you indicate is definitely one angle of the question - among plethora of other angles. Another one angle would be the cat question for example. But you shall not go around twisting people's arms to make them do what you have decided they should do, because that's what you would do. Please ...

On the theme of bridging anthroposophical understanding for the benefit of the intellect, I'm just pinpointing this Steiner quote for later - from GA 128/3: "it would nevertheless be extraordinarily interesting, since not everybody is capable of becoming clairvoyant, if such facts could be accepted ...

Hello Ashvin, Could you give me a hint about SS concepts that Cleric implicitly describes in his essays? Sure, Guney, there are many such overlaps. Of course, the most important overlap is the introspective method for exploring the lawful dynamics of the full experiential spectrum (sensing ...

Steiner, in *Philosophy of Freedom*, states that the fundamental dichotomy lies between observation (in German, *Beobachtung*, synonymous with perception) and thinking. This dualism, however, is a product of the epistemological tradition, which separates perception and thinking (the pure act of ...

I don’t see how Steiner leads to an insight (phenomenologically) that our thinking is conceptualized through other conscious perspectives (spiritual beings). It’s not about explaining being as if it were a static object of contemplation, but rather about inquiring into being itself, instead of foc ...

Thank you for your explanation, Ahsvin! I believe a fundamental difference between us lies in how we read Steiner. It may be that I find him too abstract at certain points, while you are able to recreate his thought processes. Thanks to your efforts, I now better understand why Steiner adopts this ...

Ashvin, No, that’s not what I mean. It’s more about how Steiner criticizes Platonism (his conception of which may not be entirely accurate) while incorporating Platonic elements into his own philosophy. His philosophy presupposes a point that is not phenomenologically accessible: a chaotic agg ...

In *GA 5*, Steiner discusses fascinating philosophical themes. He critiques the Platonic separation of idea and appearance. Later, he views Plato in a different context, as someone who consciously moved within ideational spheres. Yet, I find something Platonic in Steiner’s philosophy: does he not a ...
