Philosophy Of Freedom
The Philosophy of Freedom is the fundamental philosophical work of the philosopher and esotericist Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925). It addresses the question of whether and in what sense man or his will can be said to be free. Originally published in 1894 in German as Die Philosophie der Freiheit, the work has appeared under a number of English titles, including The Philosophy of Freedom (1916), The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity (1921), and more recently Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path (1995).
Part One of the Philosophy of Freedom examines the basis for freedom in human thinking, and includes accounts of knowledge and perception; Part Two examines the conditions for the freedom in relation to action.

Famous quotes containing the words philosophy and/or freedom:
“How does Nature deify us with a few and cheap elements! Give me health and a day, and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous. The dawn is my Assyria; the sun-set and moon-rise my Paphos, and unimaginable realms of faerie; broad noon shall be my England of the senses and the understanding; the night shall be my Germany of mystic philosophy and dreams.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
