anthroposophy
Cosmic human development
Anthroposophy is a spiritual philosophy founded by Rudolf Steiner in the early twentieth century, holding that humans can develop faculties to perceive spiritual realities beyond the material world.
It emphasizes the integration of science, art, and spirituality, and has influenced practical movements in education (Waldorf schools), agriculture (biodynamic farming), and medicine: The school follows anthroposophy's principles of child development.
