Rudolf Steiner: Life & Work

Rudolf Steiner’s life and work — from his birth in 1861 in Kraljevec through the founding of the Anthroposophical Society at the Christmas Conference of 1923/1924 in Dornach, to his death in 1925 — is the subject of these approximately 60 biographical titles. These books illuminate the philosopher, educator, and spiritual scientist behind Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, and anthroposophic medicine.

Steiner’s own Autobiography offers his account of his development. Christoph Lindenberg’s two-volume biography provides the most comprehensive external account. Peter Selg examines specific periods in Steiner’s life, and Gary Lachman’s introduction serves newcomers to the subject.

For biographies of Steiner’s collaborators, see Key Figures in the Anthroposophy. Scholars, students, and general readers will find this section a thorough resource.
