<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published in German under the title Beitr'age zur Rudolf Steiner Gesamtausgabe Veroffentlichungen aus dem Archiv der Rudolf Steiner-Nachlassverwaltung in Dornach, Switzerland. Issue Nr. 122, Summer 2000"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Anthroposophy has manifold roots in natural science. Rudolf Steiner never tired of saying that the development of scientific awareness had given people the possibility of freedom, that the way to cognizing the spiritual world is based on the natural scientific attitude, and that certainty of such knowledge is comparable to the certainty found in mathematics and natural science. Especially noteworthy is Steiner's comments on the importance of how experiments should be done--first, that scientists should adopt the attitude that their workbench is an altar, and second, that scientists should seek the cooperation of elemental beings.</p> <p>Drawn from Schiller's notebooks, this important volume describes natural scientific research by scientists working at the Goetheanum and following suggestions from Rudolf Steiner, leading, for example, to research on gases at low temperatures and high vacuum. Steiner told them, "You will tend to produce conditions at the Sun's center, where matter is annihilated and exists in a negative state; similarly with space. Spectrum analysis was used in these experiments, but for 'true' results, the spectroscope would need to be modified." On electricity, Steiner told them," We do not know electricity, except by its effects.... In origin, it is an astral force."</p> <p><i>The Schiller File</i> is an important resource for those who wish to better understand how to approach and practice natural science from the perspective of spiritual science.</p> <p>Includes an extensive index. <i>The Schiller File</i> is a translation of <i>Beiträge zur Rudolf Steiner Gesamtausgabe Veröffentlichungen aus dem Archiv der Rudolf Steiner-Nachlassverwaltung, </i> Dornach, Switzerland.</p> <p><b>C O N T E N T S</b> </p> <p>Preface, by Henry Goulden<br />About this Issue, by Walter Kugler<br />The Publishing of "The Schiller File," by Johannes Kühl</p> <p>Suggestions and the Setting up of Tasks for Natural-Scientific Research Given by Rudolf Steiner: "The Schiller File"<br />by Paul Eugen Schiller</p> <p>Notes from 2nd of July 1984<br />by Paul Eugen Schiller</p> <p>Comments and Documents on the Separate Tasks Given by Rudolf Steiner <br />by Stephan H.
