Along with telling Steiner’s story and placing Steiner in his historical context, Lachman’s book presents Steiner’s key ideas in a readable, accessible manner. In particular, Lachman considers the spread of Steiner’s most popular projects, which include Waldorf schools-one of the leading forms of alternative education-and Biodynamic farming-a popular precursor to organic farming. He also traces Steiner’s beginnings as a young intellectual in the ferment of fin de siécle culture, to his rise as a thought leader within the influential occult movement of Theosophy, to the founding of his own metaphysical teaching called Anthroposophy.
