About Rudolf Steiner
He was also described as a New Age guru, social reformer, and claimed clairvoyant. Steiner first became known at the end of the 19th century as a literary critic, publishing works such as The Philosophy of Freedom. In the early 20th century he created anthroposophy, an esoteric spiritual movement rooted in German idealist philosophy and theosophy, and his teachings draw on Christian Gnosticism. Many of his ideas are considered pseudoscientific, and he was prone to pseudohistory.
![“A race or nation stands so much the higher, the more perfectly its members express the pure, ideal human type ... The evolution of man through the incarnations in ever higher national and racial forms is thus a process of liberation [leading to] an ideal future.” quote by Rudolf Steiner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ef0/rudolf-steiner-2619_evolution_a-race-or-nation-stands-so-much-the-high_697947.jpg)
