  • New Non-Fiction July–December 2012 World Today
    FLORIS BOOKS New Non-fiction July–December 2012 Taking Appearance Seriously Philosophy The Dynamic Way of Seeing in Goethe and European Thought HENRI BORTOFT The history of western metaphysics from Plato onwards is dominated by the dualism of being and appearance. What something really is (its true being) is believed to be hidden behind the 'mere appearances' through which it manifests. Twentieth-century European thinkers radically overturned this way of thinking. 'Appearance' began to be taken seriously, with the observer participating in the dynamic event of perception. In this important book, Henri Bortoft guides us through this dynamic way of seeing, exploring issues including how we distinguish things, how we find meaning, and the relationship between thought and words. A renowned thinker explores a dynamic Expanding the scope of his previous book, The Wholeness of Nature, Bortoft shows how Goethean insights combine with this way of seeing and experiencing dynamic way of seeing in continental philosophy, to offer an actively experienced 'life of meaning'. Henri Bortoft is a physicist with an interest This book will be of interest to in the history of science and continental anyone who wants to understand the philosophy. He is the author of the well-received book, The Wholeness of Nature: Goethe's contribution and wider implications Also by Henri Bortoft: of modern European thought in the Way of Science (Floris Books, 1996, 2005). world today. 978-086315-238-2 paperback | £20.00 234 x 156 mm | b/w illustrations | 208 pp | 978-086315-927-5

  • Organic Revolutionary a Memoir of the Movement for Real Food, Planetary Healing, and Human Liberation
    Organic Revolutionary a memoir of the Movement for Real Food, planetary healING, and human liberation GRACE GERSHUNY 12 Organic Revolutionary markets in 1994, when USDA began to track them, to 8,268 in 2014. There is even a weekly farmers market held in the USDA parking lot in Washington, DC.2 The Roots of the True Organic Vision To see how this vision grew into the modern organic movement it may be helpful to review American and European history with this topic in mind. While I read many of the ‘classics’ of organic thought during my early years in Vermont, I didn’t fit the pieces together until my involve- ment deepened and I began teaching about the subject. The excursion that follows offers my own interpretation and selection of events and actors that has helped me to place my own experience in its historical context. Many people assume that the organic movement had its start with Rachel Carson and the environmental movement of the sixties that inspired farmers to “just say no” to pesticides. The activist uprisings of the 1960s certainly gave rise to the modern organic movement, but the birth of what became known as organic farming really occurred in response to the first widespread use of synthetic fertilizers in the early part of the 20th century. Most of the foundational organic innovators came from Europe, where concerns about the effects of using synthesized chemicals to fertilize crops sprouted a short time after they started being promoted. Around the end of World War I the munitions manufacturers found themselves with large stockpiles of explosives on hand.

  • Chapter Three a Call to Mindful Action
    Chapter Three A seed is planted … A Call to Mindful Action In this chapter I will trace the origins of Steiner Education in Europe, its context and its emergence in Australia. From out of the ash destructive fires, sprouting seeds and green shoots emerge. (Korobacz 1988:1) I gaze out onto the street. It is unusually empty and quiet. Nothing is happening. Not even the dogs are barking. I am in Ubud and its Nyepi day on the Balinese religious calendar. On Nyepi the world expected to be clean and everything starts anew, with human beings demonstrating their symbolic control over themselves and the life force of the world. I had arrived on the eve of the festival unprepared. Even the automatic tellers were closed and there was nothing to eat. Fortunately food had been prepared the previous day and a simple nasi goreng (fried rice) was brought up to me for breakfast. What to do? I organise my writing table, I may as well commence work. I look out over the straw-coloured rice fields. Not a working duck in sight! A breeze ripples over the stooped and heavy-laden heads of rice. Over and against this peaceful scene I contemplate the chaos and turmoil in the Europe at the time my parents were born. Following the Armistice of November 11 1918 and the ensuing collapse of the Central Powers and with the Allied blockade still in effect, economic and social chaos ensued. In Germany, the growing ranks of the unemployed were swelled by the return of disgruntled soldiers from the Western Front and because of hunger and destitution, 114 many were driven to join active revolutionaries of many persuasions, of the right and left.

Het laatste gesprek erover vond tien dagen voor zijn dood plaats. Bernard Lievegoed beschouwde dit boek als zijn afscheid en sprak meerdere malen van zijn ‘geestelijk testament’. In ons laatste gesprek vroeg hij mij een voorwoord te schrijven over de omstandigheden waaronder het is ontstaan. Naar zijn mening moest de lezer daarvan op de hoogte zijn om zich een goed oordeel te kunnnen vormen. Graag voldoe ik aan dit verzoek. Met het thema van dit boek heeft Bernard Lievegoed, zoals hij het in het eerste hoofdstuk vertelt, meer dan zestig jaar geworsteld. Het betreft dringende vragen over de innerlijke en spirituele achtergronden van de antroposofische bweging in de wereld. Lange tijd bleven die vragen onbeantwoord; na een ingrijpende operatie 7 kreeg hij echter eindelijk antwoord. Zijn vreugde daarover was groot en hij zette vervolgens alles op alles om dat antwoord op schrift te stellen.

  • Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Architects of Anthroposophy
    Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Architects of Anthroposophy Dr John Paull [email protected] A century ago, on the 23rd of May 1912, the winning design of Canberra was announced. Soon after, two talented Chicago architects set sail for Australia. Their plan for Australia’s national capital, already named Canberra but at the time merely an empty paddock, had won first prize in an international competition which attracted 137 entries. The winning prize money for the design was a modest £1750 (McGregor, 2009). Walter Burley Griffin (1876-1937) and Marion Mahony (1871-1961) were married in the year preceding the win. Marion had nagged Walter to enter the competition, “What’s the use of thinking about a thing like this for ten years if when the time comes you don’t get it done in time!” She pointed out the practicalities: “Perhaps you can design a city in two days but the drawings take time and that falls on me” (Griffin, 1949, volume IV p.294). After the win was announced, Walter declared: “I have planned it not in a way that I expected any government in the world would accept. I have planned an ideal city - a city that meets my ideal of a city of the future” (New York Times, 1912). Marion chronicled events of their life together in a typewritten four- volume memoir of over 1600 pages (Griffin, 1949). Her memoir documents their life together and liberally reproduces personal correspondence between them and their associates. Her unpublished manuscript reveals the intensity with which she and Walter embraced the thoughts of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and anthroposophy.
