Interdisciplinary Astronomy

Más información sobre el libro

What is the relationship between humans and the stars? Can we fully understand celestial bodies through advanced mathematics, or is there a limit to its application? Can we transcend three-dimensional space through thought? In eighteen engaging lectures from early 1921, Rudolf Steiner explores these profound questions with depth and courage. His insights and suggestions for further inquiry are both fascinating and potentially revolutionary. The focus is not on astronomy in a broad sense but on its connection to other natural sciences. Steiner argues that the prevalent specialization in scientific fields hinders our ability to achieve a cohesive understanding of reality. He emphasizes that a true comprehension of the universe's workings requires recognizing the reflective relationship between astronomy and human embryology. Steiner emerges as a unique commentator on scientific and intellectual history, illuminating a possible path for human progress and self-knowledge.
