Rudolf Steiner

Freedom of Thought
Freedom of Action



Steiner attempts to define the Philosophy of Freedom from two sides of our existence, our experience works to make us unfree. Trying to find a connection between the cognitive path of Western philosophy and the inner and spiritual needs of the human being.

"Freedom, he says, is only possible because these various constraining factors work in contradictory directions. Between the impulses of our two natures, neither of which is individualized, we find the freedom to choose how to think and act. By overcoming the dictates of both our 'lower' and 'higher' sources of experience, by orchestrating a meeting place of objective and subjective elements of experience, we become true and free individuals"
