76. The Stimulating Effect of Anthroposophy on the Individual Sciences: Closing Address 10 Apr 1921, Dornach

284. The Building for Anthroposophy at Stuttgart From an Occult Point of View 15 Oct 1911, Stuttgart
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
You will also understand what it means on the whole when we possess no such home and are obliged to give our lectures on Anthroposophy and carry on our studies in the ordinary rooms usually at our disposal. Our age has, indeed, very little talent in the domain which has been touched upon today, and the greatest sins are committed in the realms of form and colour.
72. Justification for a Science of the Soul in the Sense of Anthroposophy 09 Dec 1918, Bern

Rudolf Steiner
However, every newly appearing spiritual achievement shares this fate with anthroposophy. Hence, I would like to speak in particular about the most important soul questions and their coherence with the bodily life from the viewpoint of this science.
80b. The Eternal Soul of Man From the Point of View of Anthroposophy 14 May 1923, Oslo
Tr. Martha Keltz

Rudolf Steiner
This spiritual science is here so that people who want to have knowledge of these eternal forces—that spiritual science here intends—can find methods to lead others to this realization, so that others can also engage in this knowledge in social life; that they and their fellow man not only see something as it were that is borne by the stream of life on earth, to be born with birth and die with death, but that they learn rather of something that will go through all eternity, guided by the stars and the aims of people through the cosmic goal so that this cosmic goal gives the correct meaning to all earthly goals. Anthroposophy wants to speak to people of this cosmic sense, the sense of the goals of earth. This is what it would awaken in souls again as feeling and sensation in the relationship of the human soul with all of the forces of eternal life, for people of the present and of the future.
77b. Art and Anthroposophy The Goetheanum Impulse: Summer Art Course 1921: Opening Lecture 21 Aug 1921, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
Therefore, if one only gets to know what the anthroposophy meant here intends, then one will not reproach it for wanting to turn away from life in a fanciful, enthusiastic way into a Platonic world of ideas.
Anthroposophy knows very well that methods such as those cultivated in India, such as the yoga method, have had their time; it knows very well that anyone who, with a complete misunderstanding of the spirit of modern times, wants to return to old mystical systems, that such a person is striving for something that should be avoided here.
And if we look at another area in which the newer life has led to a real inner tragedy for many individual human personalities, we see how, in the religious sphere, the depth needed for a real religious experience has been lost. Anthroposophy, as it is meant here, is not meant to be a new foundation of religion! To say that is to defame it.
77b. Art and Anthroposophy The Goetheanum Impulse: Summer Art Course 1921: Question and Answer Session 26 Aug 1921, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
Steiner: If one grasps what can really arise out of anthroposophical thinking as art, grasps it correctly, then I think the question will not arise at all, and one will not be led to believe that anthroposophy could ever aspire to influence art through anthroposophical teachings. To think in any other way than that the artistic can arise out of the experience of the spirit flowing in the material, out of living together with the material, cannot actually be assumed from an anthroposophical attitude.
You cannot carry what is teaching into the work of art. But what real anthroposophy is, whether you approach it through the teachings or through art, leads to the inner experience of something far more original than anthroposophical teaching and anthroposophical art is, of something that lies further back in human life.

77b. Art and Anthroposophy The Goetheanum Impulse: Summer Art Course 1921: Introductory words to a Slide Lecture on the Goetheanum Building 27 Aug 1921, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
They agree on the style in which such a house is to be built: Greek, Gothic, Renaissance or some other style. This is the usual process today. If Anthroposophy had been a movement like all the others, it could have proceeded in this way. But Anthroposophy takes into account the great demands of our time for a thorough renewal of our entire culture, and therefore it could not be built in this way. Furthermore, Anthroposophy is not a one-sided body of ideas, but the ideas of Anthroposophy arise from the whole of human experience, from the deep sources of the human being. And that which lives in the ideas of anthroposophy has arisen from a primeval source, just as it was the case with the older cultures. And just as the words of Anthroposophy can be proclaimed by human mouths and given as teaching, so too can that which flows from the sources from which the Anthroposophical ideas also flow be given on the other side for direct artistic insight.
