A New Organic-Living Translation of
The Philosophy of Freedom (Spiritual Activity)
[Original Title: Die Philosophie der Freiheit, (1894)]
Dear Friends,
Here is a report written by Mark Riccio on a new translation of Rudolf Steiner’s Die Philosophie der Freiheit, a translation based on the research methodology of George O’Neil as applied by The New Thinking Institute.
Mark writes:
“A unique edition of the Philosophy of Freedom is available with a different title: The Philosophy of Freehood: A Manual for Developing Organic-Living Thinking and Heart-Intelligence. Based on George O’Neil’s research on how to practice living thinking, this New Thinking Institute edition attempts to give readers all the tools they need to immerse themselves in Steiner’s organic style of thinking and writing.
“The reader can look forward to several innovations in this translation. The text is colored thereby highlighting the levels of each sentence as the sentences climb and swoop through the paragraphs. Each sentence and paragraph is numbered “correctly” so that study groups can be on the same page. Also, George’s famous wave-like thought-forms for the Philosophy of Freehood are included, as well as instructions for immersing oneself into the meditative, organic-living aspects of the text. The new translation is available on Amazon, and the Amazon preview allows you to examine the book to see its colors and organization.
“Freehood replaces Freedom in the title as per Michael Wilson’s suggestion in his edition. Freehood is the mental condition of maintaining an opening for intuition. Following the four steps – make synopses of each paragraph, put them in form, meditate the enhancement, polarity, and inversion, and see the whole chapter in your mind’s eye – group study becomes a deeply moving process that engages not only your intellect but the chakra of the heart, which is brought into motion by organically recreating the content and form of a Steiner book.”
