Reimagining Academic Studies: Science, Philosophy, Education, Social Science, Theology, Linguistics (The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner)

During the last five years of his life, Rudolf Steiner dedicated his efforts to seeking both to reanimate the esoteric foundations of anthroposophy and to bring anthroposophy into the cultural mainstream. This involved a new language, aided powerfully by an influx of young people (the so-called youth movement) dedicated to bringing spirituality into all areas of life. Many of these young people were university students who wanted practical ways to bring anthroposophy into their areas of study. Steiner saw in their enthusiasm a new future for anthroposophy and understood that if anthroposophy could begin to reshape higher education as it had the lower grades through the Waldorf Movement, culture could truly begin to be transformed.

In 1921 the Association for Anthroposophic College Studies was founded, and courses and conferences began to be given in Dornach and a number of large cities throughout Europe. This Berlin Course drew more than a thousand participants. The goal was 'to give an impression of the possible incentives anthroposophy could offer various scientific fields.' Each day began with a lecture by Steiner, followed by presentations from other lecturers, artistic events, panel discussions, and more. The lectures included Anthroposophy and Natural Science; The Organizations of Humans and of Animals; Anthroposophy and Philosophy; Anthroposophy and Education; Anthroposophy and Social Science; Anthroposophy and Theology; and Anthroposophy and Theory of Language.
