Anthroposophy: An Introduction is one of Steiner's most important lecture cycles. In it, Steiner begins anew in light of the Christmas Conference, presenting anthroposophy in a language and approach that is fresh, concrete, and even more esoteric. Given the obvious centrality of such a work to anthroposophy, is it astonishing that the cycle has remained out of print for a very long time. The present volume is part of a multi-pronged attempt to make it accessible again. It contains suggested emendations of the two versions available, plus notes, which are not included with the extant translation at all. It was also possible to reproduce for the first time the color plates, which are not available even in the German original.
