Rudolf Steiner and his Waldorf philosophy | DW Documentary
Rudolf Steiner is synonymous with Waldorf education – and its controversial teachings. This documentary explores the impact his ideas have had, and why they continue to draw both supporters and critics, to this day.
The name Rudolf Steiner resonates. To some, he’s a visionary educational reformer and humanist. To others, the founder of a world view that lies beyond scientific validity. His teachings have shaped education, agriculture and medicine – garnering plenty of criticism, along the way.
The film paints a nuanced portrait of a thinker vacillating between a desire for reform and esotericism. It explores the enduring impact of his ideas and asks what role they play in the present day, at a time when scientific knowledge and social norms are increasingly coming into question. Does Steiner’s esoteric world view help fuel today’s skepticism towards science?
