人智學研究英語課程 2008-2009
以魯道夫.史代納的話，「人智學是條知識之徑，引領人的靈性存在，到達宇宙的靈性存在。」
從史代納的超覺知能力中他得到一個重要的洞見，人類是身、心、靈的整合體。他在生命的不同領域中展示了，這三向度的了解提供嶄新且實際的觸及本質，在教育、醫學、農業，藝術與科學的不同分支裡頭，也包括社會結構的領域。每個領域的核心皆強調人類，是神聖存在（或造物主）的創作結晶。人智學研究始於自然法則的應用，引導至靈性科學的思考結果（希臘語的anthropos=人類與索非雅/智慧＝智慧）。不過，這研究不僅在智識能力的領域裡；也可能轉化為，思考作為深刻、更包含生命的感受力，在強化意志力量之時的新能力。身為科學家、哲學家、藝術家與奧祕者，魯道夫.史代納為現代文明的人們展現著，為生命本身的自我成長方式。
歌德館--一個特別的機會
這課程一個特別之處，就是它位於歌德館。學生們將擁有充分的機會去體驗這獨特的建築本身，以及在這定期舉辦的許多文化性展演。歌德館的青年部門提供年輕人許多有趣的活動。
課程介紹
這課程允許人智學的初學者以及經驗豐富的人來此獲得新的定位，及對人智學深奧的追尋。除了每學期聚焦於魯道夫.史代納的主要工作外，學生將規律的體驗優律詩美、演說型態、繪畫、泥塑與歌唱等活動。其他的課程形式擴大了人智學研究的基礎，藝術性的課程則為了介紹各種多元的活動與文化刺激，他們源自於史代納的工作。

Anthroposophical Studies in English 2008-2009
What Is Anthroposophy?
In Rudolf Steiner's words „Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge which leads the spirit in the human being to the spirit in the universe". One of Rudolf Steiner's central insights arose out of his own supersensible perception that the human being incorporates body, soul and spirit. He demonstrated in many areas of life that this threefold understanding offers a new and practical approach to such fields as education, medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, the different branches ofthe arts and sciences as well as life in social structures. In each field central emphasis is on the human being who is recognized as integral to the divine creation. A study of Anthroposophy (Greek „anthropos = human being and sophia =wisdom") begins with applying our natural logical capacity for thinking to theresults of spiritual science. This study, however, need not remain merely in the realm of intellectual prowess, but may be transformed into new abilities in the realm of thinking as well as in a deeper, more encompassing life of feeling and in a strengthened sphere of will-power. Rudolf Steiner, scientist, philosopher, artist and esotericist, provides people with the means for self-development appropriate for life in modern civilization.
Goetheanum – A Unique Opportunity
A special aspect of this program is its location at the Goetheanum. Students will have ample opportunity to experience the unique building itself as well as the many regular cultural events which take place. For younger participants the Youth Section at the Goetheanum offers many interesting events.
General Program Information
The flexibility of the studies program permits both the beginner in Anthroposophy as well as the more experienced person to acquire new orientation and depth in the pursuit of Anthroposophy. Not only does each term focus on a major work by Rudolf Steiner, but also the student experiences Eurythmy, Speech Formation, Painting and Drawing, Clay Modeling and Singing on a regular basis. Other presentations augment the basic anthroposophical studies and the artistic courses in order to introduce a wide spectrum of activities and cultural impulses resulting from Rudolf Steiner's work.
Longer Trips and Excursions
Visit to Chartres Cathedral
Sculpted in stone on the exterior, modeled in brilliantly colored glass windows inside, an earthly history of humanity may be seen through the vision of the Middle Ages. The Old Testament from the story of creation up through the kings and prophets culminates in the birth of the Messiah. His life on the earth, the disciples, the events of the Mystery of Golgatha and the Last Judgment have spoken to countless people throughout many centuries. Besides the marvels of the Cathedral which was built on an ancient druidic site, we also consider significant aspects of the medieval Platonist School of Chartres.
Sojourn in Florence
The entire city of Florence is considered a unique cultural monument filled with innumerable masterpieces of art especially from the early Christian centuries, through the Romanesque and Gothic periods and culminating in the Renaissance. To experience the immense golden mosaic ceiling of the Basilica, the frescoes of Fra Angelico in the San Marco cloister, the mighty sculpture of David by Michelangelo, the vast number of paintings by the Masters of many centuries in the Uffizi Gallery and in the Pitti Palace can take the beholder on a journey through many great manifestations of human creativity. Also Florence as a city with its Ponte Vecchio over the Arno river, its many specialty shops and market places and its friendly atmosphere provides for a special experience. The trip is preceded by lectures on specific important artistic and historical aspects.
Fall Term – September 15to November 28 2008

Letters from Students
„We draw upon what we received last year – what riches and how the work sustains us through these times! I have continued painting; this is my joy. I amworking with watercolors, plant-based paints. I am both working from inspirations by Rudolf Steiner and doing original work."
Susan and R.H., United States
„This year I had lots of hard but precious experiences. I feel I am able to see the world a bit clearer than before thanks to the help of anthroposophy."
Keiko, Japan
„It is for me really a pleasure to have memories of the past year, the lessons, the experience, the works and the people from the Goetheanum. I hope the course will continue always so, going on so rich and full and enthusiastic because it is a unique experience that opens a lot of possibilities for everyone... I am always very happy to know that the Goetheanum is so full of activities and rich of events. It is really a very international place."
Matteo, Italy
„This term has been a time of growth for which we are grateful. Thank you for guiding us through these experiences of inner awakening."
Calida, Australia
„Please receive this small contribution to the scholarship fund with the deepest gratitude in the name of the group. We decided to keep this nice tradition of last year to help those willing to join the anthroposophical studies who however cannot afford to do this. Having been one of them, I consider this grant as one of the most human gestures we are most in need of in our times. We hope that this gift of love will benefit someone on the path."
Zsolt, Hungary
„This program offers the opportunity to people from all over the world to come to study at the Goetheanum. ... It brings together people from very different cultures and backgrounds and has a very michaelique quality. ... In my biography I feel deeply connected with the Goetheanum. During my time in Dornach, I contemplated each day the Goetheanum and each day I said to myself: I love this building tremendously! ... I really miss the Dornach hill, the Goetheanum and the basic study in the morning."
Alexandra, Canada
