The Occult Basis of Goethe's Work is a book written by Rudolf Steiner, a philosopher and esotericist. The book explores the hidden spiritual aspects of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's literary works, which Steiner believed were inspired by Goethe's own spiritual experiences and insights. Steiner examines Goethe's poetry, drama, and scientific writings through the lens of his own anthroposophical teachings, which emphasize the interconnectedness of the spiritual and material worlds. The book delves into topics such as the significance of color symbolism in Goethe's work, the role of the elemental beings in his Faust, and the spiritual implications of his scientific discoveries. Steiner's analysis offers a unique perspective on Goethe's legacy and sheds light on the spiritual dimensions of art and science.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK Transactions of the Second Annual Congress of the Federation of European Sections of the Theosophical Society, by Rudolf Steiner.
