This work is dedicated to Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher, architect, educator, and social thinker, one of the greatest representatives of philosophical, scientific, and creative thought of the 20th century.

His life was extremely short; he died when he was only 64, but

century was the start of inclusive classrooms and about the idea of education for all. Education in the early preschool years boomed with early childhood development programs.

teaching and educational philosophy (anthroposophy) of Rudolph Steiner (1861-1925). He was an Austrian scientist and philosopher who gave lectures shortly after the first world war and was asked by the managing director of a cigarette factory – Emil Molt, to found and lead a school in its early stages for the workers’ children after following one of his lectures.

Spiritual formation is a process that morphs as we grow and change. There is no one singular correct path this type of journey takes because each journey is as individual as the person who is experiencing it. Most obvious, the journey will be different from those who identify as religious and those who do not and will diversify with in each category. For example, the spiritual journey a Buddhist takes will be different from that of a believer in Judaism or Christianity. In fact, the journey will
The Austrian philosopher and social reformer Rudolph Steiner believed that social and moral developments fell behind science and technology. He observed that society had become egotistical because they placed a primary emphasis on individual materialistic gain, therefore society had lost their sense of community. Steiner understood that individual spiritual development meant very little unless it spread through a community, which would lead to what he called “world community.” Society would ultimately
Husserl, Carnap, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein ABSTRACT: Phenomenology and logical positivism both subscribed to an empirical-verifiability criterion of mental or linguistic meaning. The acceptance of this criterion confronted them with the same problem: how to understand the Other as a subject with his own experience, if the existence and nature of the Other's experiences cannot be verified. Husserl tackled this problem in the Cartesian Meditations, but he could not reconcile the verifiability
Thoughts on a Possible Rational Reconstruction of the Method of "Rational Reconstruction" ABSTRACT: Rational reconstructions standardly operate so as to transform a given problematic philosophical scientific account-particularly of a terminological, methodological or theoretical entity-into a similar, but more precise, consistent interpretation. This method occupies a central position in the practice of analytic philosophy. Nevertheless, we encounter-even if only in a very few specific publications-a
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) developed his interest in philosophy while studying aeronautical engineering at Manchester University. This interest was in the philosophy of pure mathematics and ultimately led him to Gottlob Frege, who advised him to go to Cambridge and study with Bertand Russell, in 1911 (Biletzki & Matar, 2011). This was the inception of Wittgenstein’s early philosophy, which lasted from 1911 – 1921. He joined the Austrian army at the start of World War I and was eventually taken
Clausius made a series of discoveries that led up to the discover of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the equation the “changed the world”.

Evolution of Portraiture in the Renaissance Although the Renaissance was home to the some of the most religiously influential artworks, the idea of preserving one’s image in the form of a portrait became one of the most prominent genres. As the movement in portraiture was first started to show the piety and virtue of oneself it then lead to the idea of flaunting wealth and status. These men wanted to record themselves in the hopes of keeping their legacy in the family for generations to come. As
A Brief History and Critique of Analytic Philosophy Although brief, analytic philosophy has done to philosophy what Copernicus did for science. At a time when philosophy seemed stagnant, and when much of the world turned to science for life’s big questions, a revolution needed to occur within philosophy to keep the practice relevant. For philosophy, this revolution came at the turn of the 20th century when British Idealism governed philosophic studies. Known today as analytic philosophy, this practice
Rudolf Hess, or Rudolf Walter Richard Heß, was a German Nazi Deputy Fuhrer, the title of the head of the Nazi Power, appointed by Adolf Hitler (Google). Most people saw him as a shy, odd, and distant man. He was not only an odd, distant deputy, but he was also a prominent politician in Nazi Germany. During the Second World War Hess was on the Axis powers, specifically the German Nazi party. His effect in World War II was that he was the reason so many Jews had to meet their deaths, and he was the

Ever since I could go with my dad in the tractors and equipment on the ranch, I knew I wanted to be a part of its operation. I have always been fascinated with the operations of diesel engine and much of a valuable asset they are to our world today. I helped out on the ranch whenever I could driving equipment. In the summer time it was my job to operate the swather. I really enjoyed operating it as much as I enjoyed fixing it when it broke down. When it came time to go to college the decision
