347. The Human Being as Body, Soul and Spirit: Sensation and Thoughts in Internal Organs 13 Sep 1922, Dornach
Tr. Automated

Rudolf Steiner
That is precisely what a real science must strive for. That is the endeavor of anthroposophy, to have a real science. And this real science does not just lead to the physical, but, as I have shown you, to the soul and to the spiritual.
Today, people only stare at them because today's science is no longer there. You see, anthroposophy is really not impractical. It can explain not only everything that is human, but even everything that is historical; for example, it can explain why the Romans made these Janus faces!
206. Humanity, World Soul and World Spirit II: Lecture I 12 Aug 1921, Dornach

What is initially pointed to by intellectual concepts is actually only a kind of guideline in anthroposophy, to help us focus our observation of life and the world in the direction that will allow us to see reality, the full reality.
So you see, there are of course an awful lot of points of attack on anthroposophy, depending on where you start. But one can also, and I have tried this in my “Theosophy”, already let it be known that while one is obliged to set up the cabinet first, something concrete is already pressing to do so.
143. Experiences of the Supernatural: Towards a Synthesis of World Views: A Fourfold Mission 16 May 1912, Munich

Rudolf Steiner
That is why we see how, in a short time, the Sistine Madonna finds its way into the souls even in Protestant areas. And if anthroposophy is to work for the understanding of the Christian mysteries, it will find its way best into those souls in which the feelings live that are won by images like the Sistine Madonna, into those souls that are prepared in this way. And when we say today that Christianity is only at the beginning of its development, that it will only receive its true form through the spiritual key that anthroposophy is able to give, then we know that Raphael stands as a herald for this Christianity. And again we turn our gaze to yet another figure, taking only what is Western in outlook: we turn to the figure of the German poet Novalis.
213. Human Questions and World Answers: Twelfth Lecture 21 Jul 1922, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
And it is strange that in the present day, this is often defended by saying: Anthroposophy, yes, that is only the pursuit of ideas, and that is not artistic. But in Anthroposophy, the aim is to gain insight, only one must really be prepared for this insight.
211. The Mysteries of the Sun and Death and Resurrection: The Three States of Night-Time Consciousness 24 Mar 1922, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
We have often discussed such things; but these things must be returned to again and again from the most diverse points of view, for anthroposophy can only be grasped if one tries to grasp it from the most diverse sides. Now, out of sleep, the dream life surges up first.
In this “Occult Science” I have, to be sure, described some of what comes through from the inspired consciousness, but let us just realize what can only be described through anthroposophy – what the transition is like in experience from the quiet sleep to the deeper sleep, to the sleep from which the person in ordinary life can bring back no dreams.
260. The Christmas Conference : Introduction to the Eurythmy Performance 23 Dec 1923, Dornach
Tr. Johanna Collis, Michael Wilson

Rudolf Steiner
In the first instance eurythmy is that art which has originated entirely from the soil of Anthroposophy. Of course it has always been the case that every artistic activity which was to bring something new into civilization originated in super-sensible human endeavour.
26. The Michael Mystery: Man in his Macrocosmic Being
Tr. Ethel Bowen-Wedgwood, George Adams

Rudolf Steiner
Accordingly it is just in these circles that Anthroposophy meets with but little understanding. Faced with the results of Spiritual Science, they try to understand them with their ideas.
28. The Story of My Life: Chapter XXVII
Tr. Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
This also, unfortunately, has been destroyed by life and especially by my public discussion of anthroposophy. [ 18 ] In this instance I must only describe quite objectively how the work of J.
70b. Ways to a Knowledge of the Eternal Forces of the Human Soul: The Forgotten Pursuit of Spiritual Science Within the Development of German Thought 13 Mar 1916, Stuttgart

Rudolf Steiner
There he says: "If it is highly gratifying that the latest philosophy, which... must reveal itself in every anthroposophy... must reveal itself in every anthroposophy, it cannot be overlooked that this idea cannot be a fruit of speculation, and that the true individuality of man must not be confused with what it sets up as subjective spirit or finite ego, nor with what it confronts it as absolute spirit or absolute personality. Troxler has an anthroposophy in which the spiritual person contemplates the spiritual person, as in anthropology the sensual person contemplates the sensual person. When anthroposophy is spoken of today, one speaks of the continuation of what lies in the germs in the faded tone of German intellectual life, of which I speak.
96. Original Impulses fo the Science of the Spirit: The Relationship of Human Senses to the Outside World 19 Oct 1906, Berlin
Tr. Anna R. Meuss

Rudolf Steiner
Rudolf Steiner lectured there from 1903 to 1918, giving a comprehensive introduction to anthroposophy in his longest continuous series of lectures.53. A further set of notes became available for this lecture (19 Oct. 1906).
He intended to publish this theory of the senses in book form, but the work remained fragmentary. Published posthumously as Anthroposophy (A Fragment) (GA 45).55. John 1: 156.
