	Anthroposophy (a fragment) by Rudolf Steiner Anthroposophy - a Fragment is an uncompleted text of 1910 which was found among Rudolf Steiner’s unpublished works, in the form of a handwritten manuscript and as printed sheets, corrected by the author. In these writings, Steiner takes the first steps in this work toward developing a truly spiritual psychology. Avoiding abstract descriptions and schematic knowledge, he demonstrates the phenomenological approach to the human being as a sense organ, to the life processes, the I-experience, the human form, and the relationship to the higher spiritual worlds. This is an essential work for those who feel the importance of developing cognitively towards a greater understanding of the human being.
