Rudolf Steiner’s Ordering of the Twelve Senses as Relationships of Trust
Description
A contribution by Matthias Rang
In this lecture, Matthias Rang examines the order of the twelve senses according to Rudolf Steiner. Starting from the dichotomy of the human constitution, he asks to what extent our senses convey truth. Drawing on experiments with coloured shadows, he shows that it is our judgement that deceives us, not the senses. Subjective perceptual achievements such as colour constancy prove to be objective, mathematising activities.
A contribution by Matthias Rang to the mathematical study conference in October 2025 at the Goetheanum.
