An Exploration of Goethean Science

Eight-day Fourfold Course (internal only)

The course provides an introduction to Goethean science from a fourfold perspective and is designed for Ruskin Mill Trust staff and other colleagues.

The teaching practices of the Trust are founded on the method outlined by Goethe in his scientific writings and on subsequent research, especially that of Rudolf Steiner. This course introduces Goethe’s original work and will discuss Steiner’s role in developing Goethe’s ideas. It will also highlight research work in Goethean science emerging from the Ruskin Mill Centre for Research. The sessions will include short, intense classroom teaching in parallel with practical and experiential content, and will guide participants through the four realms of nature using the four traditional elements as a focus.
