The study of Rudolf Steiner’s seminal philosophical work, Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path (or The Philosophy of Freedom), can be a challenging and rewarding endeavour. In this course we will be working with the text in a very intensive manner over a short period of time.

It is essential before beginning the course in September to read the relevant chapters and to record any questions that arise. On average, we will cover a little over one chapter per session.Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this course the student will have a grasp of the main philosophical concepts present in Steiner’s work.

Required text: The Philosophy of Freedom by Rudolf Steiner (also known as Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path), translation by Michael Wilson; NB: the Wilson translation will be used exclusively in class and is available online at the Rudolf Steiner Archive.
