What is Anthroposophy?

Anthroposophy is the study of the wisdom of man. Anthroposophy is based on the research and teachings of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), a scientist, philosopher and educator, whose spiritual scientific methods inspire new developments in medicine, science, the arts and music, education, agriculture, ecology, economics, religion and social forms.

Rudolf Steiner

Rudolf Steiner recognized that a true understanding of health and illness would require an evolution of scientific methodology to investigate phenomena not perceptible to the five senses. Steiner and his colleague, Ita Wegman, MD, taught how through inner development and careful observation, nurses, physicians and other healthcare professionals could care for patients in a manner more accurately assisting the whole being of the patient.
