About this title

Synopsis

A revised and updated edition of the book that first appeared in the Eighties and still remains the main critical work written from outside the movement. This engaging introduction to Anthroposophy is written from the unique point of view of the English-speaking outside world. Employing Anthroposophical and external sources alike, Ahern offers an unbiased look into one of the worlds most interesting mystical societies. Sun at Midnight guides the reader through Anthroposophys beginnings as an offshoot of Theosophy, the life of its founder, Rudolph Steiner, and the movements place in Western esoteric history while offering an accessible and incisive look into its deeper esoteric beliefs. Waldorf schools and bio-dynamics are woven together with the hardening of spirit into matter to create a fascinating image of Anthroposophy in all its facets.
