anthroposophy

System of mystical philosophy developed by Austrian educationist Rudolf Steiner, who claimed to possess a power of intuition giving him access to knowledge not attainable by scientific means.

Designed to develop the whole human being, anthroposophy stresses the importance of awakening latent spiritual perception by training the mind to rise above material things.

Anthroposophists believe that an appreciation of art is one of the keys to spiritual development, and that music and colours have curative properties.
