In the time of Rudolf Steiner

Abstract

The following article proposes a political and everyday life history approach of Rudolf Steiner’s biography, on the period of 1914 – 1919, but also with notes on previous and later periodization. Without the purpose of analyzing the influence of Rudolf Steiner’s historical context in his work, the article seeks to outline the main events that permeated the founding of Anthroposophy, the construction of the first goetheanum and the creation of the first Waldorf School. Through a double approach between the optics of macroscopic historical phenomena and microhistory, we seek to provoke the reflection and resignification of the work of Rudolf Steiner and those who continued it after his death.
