Ha sido por casualidad que podamos contar con el profesor Radko Tichavsky, una de las personas que más está contribuyendo al desa- rrollo de la homeopatía para los cultivo y para las plantas. Creemos que es un profesional con unas ideas que van muy en la línea que seguimos en la escuela; y, además, es un tema poco desarrollado a nivel bi- bliográfico. Es por esta razón, que estamos muy contentos de poder contar con la posibilidad de organizar un Seminario sobre Holohomeopatía para la Agricultura, los próximos 23 y 24 de Julio. Estamos seguros que será una buena oportunidad de conocer a este maestro. Esperemos que nos pueda aclarar las dudas sobre la utilización de los remedios homeopáticos para la mejora y el rendimiento de las plantas. Hemos incluido también la biografía del matrimonio Kolísko. Fueron discí- pulos de Rudolf Steiner, pionero en la utilización de los remedios homeopá- ticos para las plantas; sus ideas de biodinámica son aún, hoy en día, de máxima actualidad.

  • Chapter 1 Waldorf Teacher Education
    Chapter 1 Waldorf Teacher Education: Methodology of the Study Section 1 Introduction 1. Background information The primary focus of most of the literature on Steiner or Waldorf Education ~ whether couched in ways variously intending to theorise, compare, inform, expound, or extol ~ has been on the question of how children (whether of early childhood, primary or high school years) should be educated. The main aim of this thesis is to explore the question of how Waldorf teachers should be educated. In order to begin to tackle this seemingly straightforward question it seemed logical to begin at the beginning, that is, with the theory underlying what Waldorf teachers were being educated for. Steiner’s educational theory is explicit in maintaining that education is about facilitating the process of becoming more human. But aren’t we human enough already? What does it mean to become more human? How are human beings (for so long referred to as ‘Man’) constituted? What is ‘Man’? In some ways the trend of the questioning is reminiscent of, and inevitably leads to, the Classical Greek injunction “O Man. Know Thyself”1. It was in contemplating these questions that the realisation came of what the underlying core of the thesis would be. Something had to be said about what Steiner believed the human being to be, and therefore how the education of the human being should proceed. More specifically still, how the teachers who were to implement the 1 This injunction was engraved above the portal of the temple of Apollo at Delphi. 2 educational ideas would themselves be educated.

He described it as a path of knowledge, to guide the spiritual in the human being to the spiritual in the universe. The aim of this annual journal is to bring the outlook of anthroposophy to bear on questions and activities relevant to the present, in a way which may have lasting value. It was founded in 1949 by Charles Davy and Arnold Freeman, who were its first editors. The title derives from an old Persian legend, according to which King Jamshid received from his god, Ahura Mazda, a golden blade with which to fulfil his mission on earth. It carried the heavenly forces of light into the darkness of earthly substance, thus allowing its transformation. The legend points to the pos sibility that humanity, through wise and compassionate work with the earth, can one day regain on a new level what was lost when the Age of Gold was supplanted by those of Silver, Bronze and Iron. Technology could serve this aim; instead of endan gering our plantet's life, it could help to make the earth a new sun.

  • Bibliography of the Published Writings of Owen Barfield
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE PUBLISHED WRITINGS OF OWEN BARFIELD 1917 - 2019 COMPILED BY JANE W. HIPOLITO Acknowledgments: Owen Barfield was an astonishingly prolific author. His earliest publication appeared in 1917; the most recent listing in this bibliography is 2019. Barfield wrote on a wide variety of topics in very diverse venues, several of which do not appear in any publication indexes, databases, or other bibliographic resources. Accordingly, discovering what the published writings of Owen Barfield are, as well as tracking down and confirming the publication details, has been a complex process lasting more than a quarter of a century, throughout which I have needed and received much help. There are many people to thank for the 2019 Barfield Bibliography. G. B. Tennyson warmly invited me to undertake this project in 1980. Many of Barfield’s published writings are listed in the pioneering bibliography which Professor Tennyson compiled for the 1976 Festschrift in Barfield’s honor, Evolution of Consciousness: Studies in Polarity. I am deeply grateful for Professor Tennyson’s trust in me, and for his 1976 bibliography, which has been a major resource for Barfieldian studies. Owen Barfield immediately supported Professor Tennyson’s invitation and provided substantial help, opening up his own files and personally introducing me to the staff of Rudolf Steiner House in London, which holds copies of numerous hard-to-find Barfield publications. From the outset, Thomas Kranidas also has been inexhaustibly helpful and encouraging; I am much indebted to Professor Kranidas for his astute advice and generosity, especially concerning Barfield’s little-known imaginative writings. A great many librarians contributed to the compiling of this bibliography.
