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.
