Re: Anthroposophy and the history of Fascism
There are worlds between the German Wikipedia entry on Massimo Scaligero and the one on AnthroWiki. The first sentence in the German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massimo_Scaligero

Re: Anthroposophy and the history of Fascism
Hi Finn, as far as I know, nobody denies that Scaligero was an anthroposophist (he was a famous anthroposophist, especially in Italy, and still is today, decades after his death). What many

Re: Anthroposophy and the history of Fascism
Hi Eeva, thanks for pointing that out. It is a common stance among contemporary anthroposophists, and amounts to sticking their heads in the sand. Finding out basic information about Scaligero does

Re: Anthroposophy and Star Trek ?
Hello Kokanje, on page 15 Gebhardt lists a few things in her foreword like Steiner t-shirts, Weleda, Demeter farms, to say that he is super famous and of long-lasting importance. And then, strangely

Re: Anthroposophy and the history of Fascism
I don't know too much about this connection between Massimo Scaligero and anthroposophy, but it's so crazy that at first it does indeed sound made up. I can see on booklooker.de that the

Re: Anthroposophy and the history of Fascism
Hello, in the review about Scaligero that Eeva shared, is a way of first bashing and then admitting that there is actually no reason for it because the person being bashed has done nothing wrong

Anthroposophy and the history of Fascism
I'm glad to see a discussion of anthroposophy's historical entanglement with fascism. One way to approach a complex topic like this is to look at the world's first fascist movement, the one that arose

Re: Anthroposophy and Star Trek ?
Finn, can you give some more context? Like the sentence where ¡®Star Trek¡¯ is used. I gathered this from Wikipedia. The USS Horatio appears for the first time in the The Next Generation episode

Anthroposophy and Star Trek ?
Hello there, I took a look at the foreword to Miriam Gebhardt's Steiner biography (Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, 2011) and got stuck on the words ¡°Star Trek¡±on page 15. Reference is made here to a

Re: Steiner and the current political right
The foundation of Waldorf schools is linked to Steiner's political program of social threefolding. The goal is the realization of a real spiritual life. In the course of this development, Steiner

Re: Steiner and the current political right
I don't think anthroposophy is directly aligned in a fascist direction, but it is by no means aligned against it. The leader-cult, the cultural pessimism and the apocalyptic phantasms of anthroposophy

Re: Steiner and the current political right
Hello Kokanje, I'm glad if that helps. A more recent book on fascism that I think is promising is "Fascism - An Introduction to Comparative Fascist Studies" by Roger Griffin. Unfortunately, I haven't

Re: Steiner and the current political right
Looks very interesting, Finnef! Thanks for the suggestion. I never heard of it and just took a peek. Apparently Sternhell sees it going all the way back to the French Revolution ? greetings,

Re: Steiner and the current political right
Hi Kokanje, I add Zeev Sternhell. With regard to anthroposophy, I particularly recommend the first chapter in ¡°The Birth of Fascist Ideology¡±, keyword anti-rationalism.

Hi, Victor I understand. We should should be careful when calling people Nazis or fascists to easily nowadays (I seem to remember it happening last week ;-) The New Right as it was called here by A.

Hi Victor, during COVID the principal of of the Waldorf school my teenagers attended gave a speech to them. He called on them to ¡®rebel¡¯ and ¡®protect their freedom¡¯. Of course nothing of this

Hello, in Italy the far right is attracted to esotericism in general. I can tell you about my experience even if it is partial. There is an anthroposophical current that goes back to a follower of
