Synopsis

Practical Training in Thought is a book written by Rudolf Steiner, a philosopher, scientist, and founder of anthroposophy. The book offers a comprehensive guide to developing one's thinking abilities and achieving greater clarity and insight. Steiner presents a series of exercises and techniques designed to help readers overcome common obstacles to clear thinking, such as confusion, doubt, and distraction. He also explores the nature of thought itself, discussing its relationship to perception, intuition, and imagination. Throughout the book, Steiner emphasizes the importance of cultivating a disciplined and focused mind, and offers practical advice on how to do so. Practical Training in Thought is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their thinking skills and deepen their understanding of the human mind.1928. This is a rendering of the lecture given by Steiner at Carlsruhe on January 18, 1909. It may be strange to some that an anthroposophist feels as though he must speak on practical training in thought. In reality, what concerns those in the anthroposophical movement is intended to be a guide for everyday life, for the most matter-of-fact affairs of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About this title

About the Author

Rudolf Steiner (1861 1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe s scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical principles into an approach to systematic research into psychological and spiritual phenomena. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy, spiritual research, and findings. The influence of Steiner s multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs, threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.
