Greetings Winfried,
I am in the dark. I know nothing about Anthroposophy. I have never read
about it before. Our university's library is closed so that I could not
even get help there. There is a number of book shops close by, but none
has a book on Antrhoposophy, nor has any dealer ever had one in hand. I
have not yets searhed the Web on it.
In Greek "anthropos" means human while "sophia" means wisdom. I am
acquainted with the subjects anthropology ("logos"= study) and philosophy
("phileo"=love). As a subject "anthroposophy" would atymologically mean
"human wisdom". But that is as far as my understanding goes which is
pretty nothing. Will you please be so kind as to sketch on an occasion the
outlines of anthroposopy to us as well as pointing to sources of
information. Thank you very much.
By the way, how do you avoid in anthroposophy the ailment of
anthropomorphy (anthropocentrism -- narcistic humanism -- by humans
through humans for humans)?
Best wishes
