How to articulate nuance in a black & white world?
I must admit to ignorance when Tin joined the Waldorf School here in New Orleans. I had heard of Waldorf but other than heard the name, I knew little about the school’s philosophy or that of Rudolf Steiner, who I hadn’t heard of at all. It’s possibly a grave oversight that not many people have heard of Steiner as he was one of the giants in philosophy and his work prescient enough that reading his writings now makes it hard to believe he is not of our time.
I took home a great article about Steiner that I found online as well. This provides a cogent overview of the man and yokes together his wide reaching tendrils into so many facets of our world that Waldorf is just given a mention near the end of the article.
But it is worth a read especially for those of us who are navigating a world that has worked hard to sever our physical self from our spiritual self from our conscious self. We are becoming is what Steiner wrote about back when WWI was thought of as the war to end all wars.
