The Inner Nature of Man: And Our Life Between Death and Rebirth (Cw 153)
Steiner, Rudolf ; Meuss, Anna R.
Synopsis "The Inner Nature of Man: And Our Life Between Death and Rebirth (Cw 153)"
8 lectures and a short address, Vienna, April 6-14, 1914 (CW 153)"When we know how to enter deeply into the realm of the soul, we reach understanding of the harmony that exists between successive lives on earth and the whole of the physical world outside us." -- Rudolf SteinerIn these lectures--given during World War I, as thousands of young men were being killed in battle--Rudolf Steiner describes the dramatic reality of the spiritual worlds encountered by human beings after death. He speaks of the joys and sufferings experienced in those worlds by people of different character; the vision of the "ideal human being" that souls experience; the cosmic "midnight hour"; the processes leading to rebirth in the world of the senses; the deeper causes behind such phenomena as materialism and criminality; and why, in the flesh, we lose our instinctive perception of the spiritual worlds.Rudolf Steiner also describes how knowledge of the spiritual realms, as well as the life beyond death and before birth, can be built on foundations of modern science. Indeed, he speaks of humankind's involvement in science and its many achievements as necessary steps on the path toward a modern form of spirituality and a true understanding of the soul, describing in detail methods by which direct perception of the worlds of soul and spirit can be developed.This volume is a translation from German of Inneres Wesen des Menschen und Leben zwischen Tod und neuer Geburt (GA 153).
Rudolf Steiner (Donji Kraljevec, Imperio austrohúngaro, hoy Croacia, 25 o 27 de febrero de 18611-Dornach, Suiza, 30 de marzo de 1925) fue un filósofo austriaco, erudito literario, educador, artista, autor teatral, pensador social y ocultista. Fue el fundador de la antroposofía, la educación Waldorf, la agricultura biodinámica, la medicina antroposófica5 y de la nueva forma artística de la euritmia.
Describió la antroposofía como sigue: La antroposofía es un sendero de conocimiento que quisiera conducir lo espiritual en el hombre a lo espiritual en el universo. Pueden ser antropósofos quienes sienten determinadas cuestiones sobre la esencia del hombre y del mundo como una necesidad tan vital como la que se siente cuando tenemos hambre y sed.
Steiner propuso una forma de individualismo ético, al que luego añadió un componente más explícitamente espiritual. Derivó su epistemología de la visión del mundo de Johann Wolfgang Goethe, según la cual el pensamiento es un órgano de percepción al igual que el ojo o el oído. Del mismo modo que el ojo percibe colores y el oído sonidos, así el pensamiento percibe ideas.
