Forest Row, UK : Rudolf Steiner Press, 2009. Edition Not Stated. Softcover. Good Condition. Octavo. Binding is tight and spine is fully intact Some tiny foxed spots on endpapers All edges neat and clean Card cover corners slightly bumped The path of an individual human life, our biography, is a kind of mystery. Despite the abundance of published biographies and autobiographies of celebrities and historical figures, scientific study of human biography remains in its infancy, with little understanding of the inherent laws in the path of an individual’s life. Yet as Rudolf Steiner shows here, every biographyregardless of one’s place in life or a person’s perceived importance or successis ruled by archetypal influences, patterns and laws.This broad-ranging anthology addresses critical and still-unanswered questions: What are the effects of educationespecially contrasting educational methodson later life? How are the stages of one’s life interrelated? Do the effects of events on the individual become immediately evident, or is their true impact delayed, perhaps for decades? To what extent can we shape the stages of our individual biographies? How much freedom of choice do we have, and how much of life is predetermined?Drawing on his capacity for higher knowledge through spiritual research, Steiner describes the human individuality as a being with a continuing existence, both before birth and beyond death. Our eternal being experiences a myriad of conditions and situations, the effects of which may be observed in one’s biography. This book addresses these and other issues such as freedom and destiny, the effects of heredity, illness, and the impact of education, offering answers based on a profound knowledge of the human being., Rudolf Steiner Press, 2009, 2.5, Classic conspiracy theory insists that things are not what they seem and gathers evidence--especially facts ominously withheld by official sources--to tease out secret machinations. The new conspiracism is different. There is no demand for evidence, no dots revealed to form a pattern, no close examination of shadowy plotters. Dispensing with the burden of explanation, the new conspiracism imposes its own reality through repetition (exemplified by the Trump catchphrase "a lot of people are saying") and bare assertion ("rigged!"). The new conspiracism targets democratic foundations: political parties and knowledge-producing institutions. It makes it more difficult to argue, persuade, negotiate, compromise, and even to disagree. Ultimately, it delegitimates democracy. Filled with examples, this book diagnoses a defining and disorienting feature of today's politics and offers a guide to responding to the threat., Princeton University Press, 2020, 6<
