  What is Anthroposophy?
Anthroposophy was founded, and is essentially based, upon Rudolf Steiner's prophetic intuition of the spiritual world.

But Anthroposophy itself, under that name, would not arise as a separate, independent spiritual movement until 1913 when, as as result of the controversy surrounding the young Krishnamurti (whether he was, or was not, the reincarnation of Christ [Steiner himself denying such]) Steiner split permanently from the Adyar theosophists.
