Has anyone heard of this? I just came across it in the site below, and was wondering whether I'm the only one it was new to.

(This turned out to be one of the sites that won't let you go anywhere but to the home page, apparently; the first link I put was for the page with the definition, but when I checked whether it would work, it took me to the home page--withOUT the list of links you'll see to the left, here.) Click on Anthroposophy for the def.

How very odd --when I checked to see if the link above worked--and it was a direct copy/paste--it not only took me to a home page without the list of links, it had some different content than the original I found on my MSN Search. Okay--guess I'll have to copy the def., though it will make this post longer than I'd have liked:
1. Anthroposophy is a spiritual philosophy, mainly developed by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. It is born out of a philosophy of freedom, living at the core of anthroposophy. For more on anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner from this perspective, see here and here.

2. It is a path of knowledge or spiritual research, developed on the basis of European idealistic philosophy, primarily defined by its method of research, and secondly by the possible knowledge or experiences this leads to. From this perspective, anthroposophy can also be called spiritual science.
