About this book

Rudolf Steiner's earlier philosophical work, published in German as Philosophie der Freiheit, appears here in English under a title changed at his request, so that the old key term is to be read as spiritual activity. The first chapters take up conscious human action, why the desire for knowledge is fundamental, thought as the instrument of knowledge, the world as percept, and our knowledge of the world. The translators were R. F. Alfred Hoernlé and Mrs. Hoernlé, and the first issue was in 1916. The second edition of 1922 follows Steiner's revised German edition of 1918 and adds his doctoral thesis, Truth and Science.
