Below can be found a number of links.
As far as the Philosophy of Science
is concerned, the links are related to the epistemological basis of anthroposophy
as the basis of Waldorf education, and the relation of anthroposophy to
the natural sciences as they have developed during the last centuries.
The links on Goetheanism
relate to books, articles and research institutes working out of or in
the spirit of a Goetheanistic approach to man and nature. It constitutes
a complementary approach to that dominating in the natural sciences today
and in general is integrated as such in the curriculum in Waldorf schools.
The links on Waldorf education
and anthroposophy point to sites on both subjects and on the relation
between them. Though the anthroposophical understanding of man and nature
constitutes the basis Waldorf education, it is not as such taught at Waldorf
schools.
