Born in Austria in 1861, Rudolf Steiner received recognition as a scholar when he was invited to edit the Kürschner edition of the natural scientific writings of Goethe. In 1891, Steiner received his Ph.D. at the University of Rostock. He then began his work as a lecturer. From the turn of the century to his death in 1925, he delivered well over 6000 lectures. His written works eventually included some fifty titles. The philosophical outlook of Rudolf Steiner embraces such fundamental questions as the being of man, the nature and purpose of freedom, the meaning of evolution, the relation of man to nature, the life after death and before birth. Through a study of his writings, one can come to a clear, reasonable, comprehensive understanding of the human being and his place in the universe. This newly translated edition of Rudolf Steiner's Autobiography, edited by Dr. Paul M. Allen, editor of the Christian Rosenkreutz Anthology, is the most comprehensive published to date. It contains 648 editorial and reference notes explaining every important reference mentioned by Steiner, 16 pages of photographs and many other details needed to make this 560 page book the truly definitive life of Rudolf Steiner.
