Clement, Christian. 2025. “Beyond Aulasaukaulala - The Philosophical Approach to Anthroposophy in the Critical Edition (SKA).” in 100 Years Rudolf Steiner. Harvard Divinity School: Program for the Evolution of Spirituality.

Abstract

Dr. Clement’s presentation will provide a summary of the history, reception, and conceptual framework of the Critical Edition of Rudolf Steiner's Writings (SKA), which has been published by frommann-holzboog in Stuttgart since 2013 under his editorship. The focus will be on the question of why, and to what extent, the accompanying introductions and commentaries in this edition place anthroposophy primarily within a philosophical context and seek to understand Steiner's life’s work from that particular perspective—despite criticism from the academic community and despite Steiner’s own views on the limitations of philosophy.
