130. Esoteric Christianity and the Mission of Christian Rosenkreutz: The Dawn of Occultism in the Modern Age II 29 Jan 1912, Kassel
Tr. Pauline Wehrle

Rudolf Steiner
The occurrence is to be found in the lives of many people today, but it is usually passed by unnoticed. It is, however, the task of Anthroposophy to point to such an occurrence and its significance. Let me make it clear by an example. Suppose a man has occasion to go somewhere or other and his path takes him in the wake of another human being, a child perhaps.
Theoretical knowledge alone does not make men true Anthroposophists; those who understand their own life and the life of other human beings in the sense indicated today—they and they alone are true Anthroposophists. Anthroposophy is a basic power which can transform our life of soul. And the goal of the work in our groups must be that the intimate experiences of the soul change in character, that through the gradual development of the memory belonging to the life of feeling we become aware of immortality.
And that is the great task of theosophy that has become Anthroposophy: to bring to the world the rejuvenation which it needs. We must get beyond the banal and the purely material.
130. The Karma of Materialism: Foreword
Tr. Rita Stebbing

Own Barfield
Neither things nor beings can be spoken of without being identified, or identified without being named: It remains true that some previous acquaintance with the literature of Steiner's anthroposophy will greatly reduce this difficulty, and will prevent the names being merely names.
Some acquaintance then with the literature of anthroposophy is desirable in a reader of this book. But I would not say it is indispensable. There is another way of acquainting oneself with unfamiliar terminology besides starting with a set of definitions.
130. The Temple Legend: enote
Tr. John M. Wood

Rudolf Steiner
For historical reasons we have forborne substituting the expression ‘theosophy’ for ‘anthroposophy’, as was usually done at the specific request of Rudolf Steiner after the German Section of the Theosophical Society had re-formed under the title Anthroposophical Society. The reader must be aware, however, that the theosophy taught by Rudolf Steiner—as represented in his fundamental book, Theosophy, an Introduction to the Supersensible Knowledge of the World Theosophy, an Introduction to the Supersensible Knowledge of the World and the Destination of Man—has always been identical with what he later only referred to as ‘anthroposophy’ or ‘anthroposophically-orientated spiritual science.’ Concerning the texts, it must be stressed that, in common with most of the early transcripts, where professional stenographers were not employed, they are noticeably incomplete, sometimes only existing in the form of notes.
260. The Christmas Conference : The Foundation Meeting of the General Anthroposophical Society 25 Dec 1923, Dornach
Tr. Johanna Collis, Michael Wilson

Rudolf Steiner
All those who have participated, and there are many, agree without reservation that even in the smallest places there is a genuine interest in Anthroposophy, that everywhere hearts are waiting for Anthroposophy, and that wherever it is clearly and openly stated that the speaker stands on the soil of the spiritual research given to the world by Dr.
260. The Statutes of the Anthroposophical Society 24 Dec 1923, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
It will endeavour to fulfil the task by centering its activities on the spiritual science of Anthroposophy cultivated in the Goetheanum at Dornach, with all that results from it for human brotherhood, for moral and religious life, and for the artistic and cultural life in humanity.1 The persons gathered together at Dornach in founding the Anthroposophical Society recognise and support the view of those responsible at the Goetheanum (represented by the Executive formed at the Foundation Meeting) in the following particulars:—“The Anthroposophy pursued in the Goetheanum leads to results which can be of assistance to every human being—without distinction of nation, social standing or religion—acting as an incentive in spiritual life.
26. Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts: Michaels Task in the Sphere of Ahriman
Tr. George Adams, Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
[ 22 ] One who honestly, out of the deepest being of his soul, can feel himself one with Anthroposophy, understands this phenomenon of Michael truly. And Anthroposophy would like to be the message of this mission of Michael.
169. Toward Imagination: The Twelve Human Senses 20 Jun 1916, Berlin
Tr. Sabine H. Seiler

Rudolf Steiner
As you know, I like to call our spiritual science anthroposophy, and a few years ago when I gave lectures here, I called them lectures on anthroposophy. Last time, I referred to these lectures on anthroposophy, particularly to my emphasis on the fact that human beings actually have twelve senses.
14 Yet there are people today who dare to say the name “anthroposophy” was only invented when, as they say, we wanted to break away from the Theosophical Society.
In addition, I plan to teach elsewhere an ongoing course entitled “Anthroposophy or the Connection between Morality, Religion, and Science.” I also hope to be able to present a lecture to the Bruno Society on Bruno's monism and anthroposophy.
260. The Christmas Conference : Continuation of the Foundation Meeting 27 Dec 1923, Dornach
Tr. Johanna Collis, Michael Wilson

Rudolf Steiner
The persons gathered in Dornach as the nucleus of the Society recognize and endorse the view of the leadership at the Goetheanum: “Anthroposophy, as fostered at the Goetheanum, leads to results which can serve every human being as a stimulus to spiritual life, whatever his nation, social standing or religion.
Now there was a very well-known philosopher, a Platonist, who reckoned that anyone who had read the whole of Plato ought to be able to form a judgment about Anthroposophy. On this basis he sent people to me about whom he said: These are good philosophers so they ought to be allowed to attend, since they are capable of forming judgments.
This will meet with less contradiction—there will be some, but less—than that Anthroposophy can also lead to something in the practical realm. This is more likely to be contradicted. That is why I formulated this sentence in this way.
218. The Concealed Aspects of Human Existence and the Christ Impulse 05 Nov 1922, The Hague
Tr. Katarine L. Federschmidt

Rudolf Steiner
This is bound up with the very fact that this Goetheanum is a symbol today for that spiritual movement which is to be born into the world through Anthroposophy. If there had never been a circle of friends through whom the beginning of the building of the Goetheanum could be brought to realization, then Anthroposophy would have had to find some other avenue of expression.
Therefore, my dear friends, I cannot but tell you what is at stake. Anthroposophy as such has spread very much in the world; and I assure you that, even here in Holland, the dear friends present today are only a very small part of the people who are in touch with Anthroposophy.
But, if our souls possessed the same enthusiasm for Anthroposophy which our opponents of all shades have today for anti-Anthroposophy, we should be very differently established.
342. Anthroposophical Foundations for a Renewed Christian Spiritual Activity: Third Lecture 14 Jun 1921, Stuttgart

Rudolf Steiner
It is the worst slander against the Waldorf School when people outside say, and this is already being repeated as far away as America, that it exists to teach anthroposophy to children. That is not its purpose! It is not a school of world-view. What can be gained through anthroposophy can be incorporated into pedagogy and didactics.
We couldn't help it if they ran over. We don't have anthroposophy as just any subject in the school curriculum, but just as the Catholic and Protestant religious education is brought in from outside.
But the effective core on which everything should be built must actually be anthroposophists. For anthroposophy seeks to achieve what is sought in vain everywhere else: it seeks to lead to a true grasp of reality.
