Rudi Lissau gives a fascinating overview of Rudolf Steiner’s life, philosophy, meditative path, and work. He summarises the revolutionary thinking on Waldorf education,  biodynamic farming, medicine, the arts and sciences – offering an inspiring alternative to  bleak materialism. Uniquely amongst spiritual teachers Steiner was also an activist who campaigned against totalitarianism, nationalism, imperialism, free market capitalism and for a threefold commonwealth based on freedom, equality and fraternity. Central to his teaching were profound insights into Christ and the destiny of humanity. Andrew Welburn’s Introduction contextualises  Steiner and spiritual modernity

Rudi Lissau (1911-2004) was born in Vienna, met Steiner as a boy, achieved a doctorate from the University of Vienna. From a Jewish background, he fled Vienna on the day the Nazis arrived, and ended up teaching at Wynstones Rudolf Steiner School in Gloucestershire, England. His worldwide lecturing and this book aimed at helping other seekers of the spirit connect with Rudolf Steiner
