Over a Bunsen burner he heats a beaker of water containing a piece of ice. The parents watch in rapt silence for several minutes while tiny bubbles form on the bottom and sides of the beaker. Losing its milky opacity and gradually tak- ing on the transparency of the surrounding water, the chunk of ice becomes more mobile, swimming about slowly in the bea- ker. Bubbles begin to form around the piece of ice, and, one by one, little bubbles rise from the bottom of the beaker, describ- ing erratic paths to the surface. Soon the chunk of ice is no more than a ghostly semblance of its former self, perceptible only as a fleeting watery “thickness” or as a sensation of move- ment. Then, with surprising suddenness, the water itself is full of motion and no longer transparent but turbulent with large bubbles that swiftly ascend the sides of the beaker. The water itself appears to flow upward and then toward the center of the surface, where it seems to be sucked down again into the boil- ing cauldron. Surprisingly, very little steam is generated in this process, but when the teacher turns off the Bunsen burner, steam suddenly becomes visible, rising from the now quiet water, in which there is no more ice to be seen. The ice has “melted.” The parents then offer their observations. What did they see? 8 THE LIGHT COURSE For many of the parents, it is a first glimpse into the phe- nomenally based science curriculum that their children have been learning since their botany block in fifth grade. For the class teacher, it is an opportunity to explain that Waldorf edu- cation aims to bring the children an understanding of the phys- ical world that is based on what they can actually observe with their senses. After observing such an experiment, the children attempt to put into their own words what they have seen. If they say that the water boiled and the ice melted, the teacher encourages them to describe the actual individual moments until the class has built up a full picture of the process. The children are learning (or actually relearning) how to attend to a natural phenomenon without substituting concepts such as “boil” or “melt” for actual perceptions. This sense-based way of doing science, which has its roots in Goethe’s scientific prac- tices, is to continue throughout the children’s education even through the high school. As a dyed-in-the-wool friend of the humanities, who as a schoolboy had avoided the “hard” sciences whenever possible, I was fascinated by both the demonstration and the explana- tion. As a student of German literature, I had heard about Goethe’s ideas on color and had a passing acquaintance with the controversies surrounding the great poet’s work in science. A subsequent Waldorf conference, at which science teachers Stephen Edelglass and Michael D’Aleo spoke about the Goet- hean approach to physics, once again piqued my interest: here was a way of looking at the natural world without reducing it to dry formulas and invisible forces. Where had this approach come from? “We can definitely stick with the phenomenon. That is good,” said Rudolf Steiner in the “Discussion Statement” (August 8, 1921) that has been printed here in lieu of an afterword to The Light Course. A simpler description of Translator’s Introduction 9 Goethe’s approach could hardly be given, yet it captures the essence: Goethe was not interested in “natural laws,” in find- ing a cause lurking behind the phenomena. Instead he sought by dint of careful observation to create what Steiner called “a kind of rational description of nature” (First Lecture), which would reveal the “archetypal phenomenon” (Urphänomen), consisting of the most basic elements of the observed phe- nomena. Goethe saw such an archetypal phenomenon in the colors that appeared when he first looked through a spectrum toward a window where the darkness of the frame met the brightness of the sky. “First Course in Natural Science” was the name Rudolf Steiner originally gave to this series of ten lectures for the teachers of the new Waldorf School in Stuttgart from Decem- ber 23, 1919, to January 3, 1920. Over the intervening years these lectures gained the sobriquet “The Light Course,” a mis- nomer perhaps, since the course deals with a much larger range of phenomena, encompassing, besides light and color, discus- sions of sound, mass, electricity, and magnetism, and even ven- turing into areas such as radioactivity, relativity, and quantum mechanics, which constituted the cutting edge of physics at that time. Nevertheless the nickname does have a certain justi- fication, since all of lectures three through seven and a good deal of lecture two are devoted to light and the related phe- nomenon of color. Equally significant, the discussion of light gave Rudolf Steiner the opportunity to establish the phenome- nological approach of Goethe’s Color Theory as the method- ological basis for looking at other physical phenomena. Far from being a straightforward guide to teaching physics in the Waldorf School with practical suggestions on curriculum and teaching methods, The Light Course and two subsequent courses on the natural sciences given in 1920 and 1921 were intended as a basic schooling in the Goethean approach to 10 THE LIGHT COURSE science and as an introduction to Rudolf Steiner’s project of anchoring natural science in a science of the spirit. At its core The Light Course is a critique of the materialistic thinking of modern science that separates the perceived object from the perceiving subject, denying the inner spiritual experi- ence of the human being and reducing consciousness to a mere artifact of stimulated matter. Steiner poses the basic epistemo- logical question: how do we know what we know? He contrasts the purely abstract “mathematical way of looking at natural phenomena” characteristic of classical science with an approach based on human beings and their relationship, through the senses, to the natural world. By reclaiming the validity of sen- sory experience, Steiner bridges the chasm between the inner experience of the human being and the “real” outer world. Guiding his audience through a series of

  • Introduction to Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein's Persephone Play
    Introduction to Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein’s Persephone play The Persepkoneia play, published for the first time in these pages, comes from the literary estate of Ita Wegman (1876-1943). It was originally written around Easter 1930 for the international youth camp to be held in August that year at Stakenberg in Holland. Two versions are in existence: 1) a handwritten version in Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein’s handwriting, and 2) a typescript. Remarkably, Ita Wegman and Walter Johannes Stein took turns in the handwritten version; two thirds were written by Ita Wegman, with 5 passages in Stein’s handwriting in between, on two occasions changing in mid-sentence. I found these undated manuscripts in Arlesheim in 1981 when I was planning the biography and sorting through Ita Wegman’s papers. The typewritten text carries a note by Dr Hilma Walter: ‘summarized by Dr Wegman1, which suggested that it was a revision or summary of an existing text. I was unable to find out anything about Ihis, however; Dr Walter was no longer alive and Madeleine van Deventer had never heard of the play. To date, there has been nothing to indicate that Wegman (and Stein) based themselves on an existing text On the other hand the history suggests that this is an original work by Ita Wegman, and that Walter Stein worked on it as well. The play is also remarkable in so far as there are no other known literary efforts by Ita Wegman.1 Later a systematic search of Ita Wegman^ correspondence brought to light a letter Dr Willem Zeylmans van Emmichoven (1893-1961) had written to Ita Wegman (dated May 1930), in which he discusses the play in some detail.

  • 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.

  • Camphill and the Future
    DISABILITY STUDIES | RELIGION M C KANAN THE CAMPHILL MOVEMENT, one of the world’s largest and most enduring networks of intentional communities, deserves both recognition and study. CAMPHILL A ND Founded in Scotland at the beginning of the Second World War, Camphill communities still thrive today, encompassing thousands of people living in more CAMPHILL than one hundred twenty schools, villages, and urban neighborhoods on four continents. Camphillers of all abilities share daily work, family life, and festive THE FUTURE celebrations with one another and their neighbors. Unlike movements that reject mainstream society, Camphill expressly seeks to be “a seed of social renewal” by evolving along with society to promote the full inclusion and empowerment of persons with disabilities, who comprise nearly half of their residents. In this Spirituality and Disability in an Evolving Communal Movement multifaceted exploration of Camphill, Dan McKanan traces the complexities of AND THE the movement’s history, envisions its possible future, and invites ongoing dia- logue between the fields of disability studies and communal studies. “Dan McKanan knows Camphill better than anyone else in the academic world FUTURE and has crafted an absorbing account of the movement as it faces challenges eighty years after its founding.” TIMOTHY MILLER, author of The Encyclopedic Guide to American Inten- tional Communities “This book serves as a living, working document for the Camphill movement. Spirituality and Disability Communal Movement in an Evolving McKanan shows that disability studies and communal studies have more to offer each other than we recognize.” ELIZABETH SANDERS, Managing Director, Camphill Academy “With good research and wonderful empathy, McKanan pinpoints not only Cam- phill’s societal significance but also how this eighty-year-old movement can still bring potent remediation for the values and social norms of today’s world.” RICHARD STEEL, CEO, Karl König Institute DAN MCKANAN is the Emerson Senior Lecturer at Harvard Divinity School.

  • Camphill and the Future
    1 Camphill Generations All Camphillers would agree that theirs is a multiple-generation movement. But there is no shared understanding of where one Camphill generation ends and the next begins. The concept of a “generation” is inherently fuzzy. Since some people have children at age fifteen and others at age forty-five, three generations might pass in one family during another family’s single generation. Some groups of peo- ple, born at roughly the same time, attain a powerful sense of shared identity— most notably the baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) and the millennials (born between 1980 and 1996). There are also events in Camphill’s history that bonded specific generational cohorts together. At least four generations have left powerful imprints on Camphill. I use the term founding generation to include the circle of friends who fled from Vienna to Scotland in 1938 and undertook the shared project of creating a school for children with special needs. These founders were born between 1902 and 1916; all but the Königs were tightly grouped between 1910 and 1916. The second generation, which I refer to as “those who came,” includes children who enrolled in the early Camphill schools and coworkers, some only slightly younger than the founders, who joined the fledgling enterprise in the 1940s and 1950s. Baby boomersconstitute a third Camphill generation of students, villagers, and coworkers. A few arrived in the late 1960s, many more in the 1970s, and others as late as the 1990s or beyond. Because this was the period of most rapid growth, baby boomers became the most sig- nificant generation in Camphill’s history—a position they still hold today.
