AEWCH 311: RUDOLF STEINER'S RADICAL SOCIAL-POLITICAL PROJECT with AARON FRENCH & HENRY HOLLAND

About this episode

This episode explores Rudolf Steiner's social-political project with scholars Aaron French and Henry Holland.

In this double-length and in-depth episode, I look at the social-political project of the late 19th early 20th century occultist, philosopher, and social reformer Rudolf Steiner with scholars and academics Aaron French and Henry Holland, who are writing Steiner's biography for SUNY Press, and have just offered the keynote at Harvard University's conference on Rudolf Steiner's life and work. On this episode, we attend to a question Henry asks: “Is a leftist reading of Steiner possible?" Please support this show on patreon: Patreon.com/connerhabib
