As Steiner's research was so vast and conducted over such a long period of time, no single book can be said to contain the whole of his spiritual teaching. However, of all his books \u003ci\u003eOccult Science\u003c\/i\u003e comes closest. Steiner even referred to it as \"an epitome of anthroposophic Spiritual Science.\" The book systematically presents the fundamental facts concerning the nature and constitution of the human being and, chronologically, the history of the universe and humankind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhereas the findings of natural science are derived from observations made through the senses, the findings of Spiritual Science, or Anthroposophy, are \"occult\" inasmuch as they arise from direct observation of realities hidden to ordinary perception. And yet these elements of humanity and the universe form the foundation of the sense world. A substantial part of \u003ci\u003eOccult Science\u003c\/i\u003e is taken up with a description of the preliminary training needed to make such spiritual observations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven his energetic involvement in practical initiatives and extensive lecturing, Steiner had little time to write books. Of those he did write, four titles form an indispensable introduction to his later teaching: \u003ci\u003eThe Philosophy of Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e (CW 4); \u003ci\u003eTheosophy\u003c\/i\u003e (CW 9); \u003ci\u003eKnowledge of the Higher Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e (CW 10); and \u003ci\u003eOccult Science: An Outline\u003c\/i\u003e (CW 13).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOccult Science: An Outline\u003c\/i\u003e is a translation from German of \u003ci\u003eDie Geheimwissenschaft im Umriss\u003c\/i\u003e (GA 13).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Steiner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1855843854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855843851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Steiner Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Rudolf Steiner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939023388927,"sku":"9781855843851","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7f733758-ef01-4442-9c9a-f8459f126458.jpg?v=1681439044","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/occult-science-rudolf-steiner-9781855843851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
