The Development of Rudolf Steiner and the Transformation of the Ancient Mysteries
1 h 28 minPieter van der Ree
Rudolf Steiner and Friedrich Nietzsche
Description
A contribution by David Marc Hoffmann
In this lecture, David Marc Hoffmann reveals Steiner’s changing interpretations – from the critical distance of 1889, through the enthusiastic monograph “Friedrich Nietzsche: Fighter for Freedom” in 1895, to Promethean rebellion against Christianity and authority. Sources from the period, quotations, encounters with the insane Nietzsche and connections to Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche make Steiner’s path, with all its ruptures and surprises, visible.
A contribution by David Marc Hoffmann to the supporting programme of the exhibition “Kindling from the Spirit of the Cosmos ...” at the Goetheanum.
