Steiner was earnestness incarnate, his one gesture of bohemian extravagance the flowing bow ties he was fond of wearing, a remnant of his early student days.

 Who was Rudolf Steiner?
Perhaps a fifth one, in part an elaboration on the first, should be added, namely, that there is a general tendency in both academic and conventional pursuits to be wary of apocalypse, that is, of revelation based upon pure intuition.
Steiner coined the term anthroposophy as the name for (the character of) his teachings, compounding the two Greek words, anthropos (human being, but with a higher connotation than the Latin homo, which is etymologically related to the Greek chthon meaning earthly) and sophia (wisdom).
While I have since come to see in Steiner's other works, such as his scientific, a truer relation to observed phenomena than that in many of the principles or "laws" widely accepted as "scientific fact," the "testing" of his works that originally convinced me related primarily to the Bible.

Steiner's contributions to the various fields of knowledge are so penetrating and far-reaching that many scholars have trouble even trying to articulate or summarize them.

 Waldorf education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waldorf education (also called Steiner education) is a world-wide system of education based on the educational philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, whose theory of child development, based on his anthroposophical view of the human being, considers child development as a process of the child's soul and spirit incarnating into a developing living, physical organism.
Steiner developed a 3-stage pedagogical model of child development that views a child's physical, emotional, and cognitive development as expressions of the process of incarnation of an immortal soul and spirit in its gradual embodiment in the human body which will be its temporal earthly vehicle.
Steiner held that where the State administered education, culture was crippled in its ability to impartially distinguish good from bad in state action and in economic life.
