What is the Rudolf Steiner Movement?

These seemingly widely varying movements founded by Rudolf Steiner are held together at their deepest core level by a coherent and comprehensive world-view, which Rudolf Steiner called Anthroposophy. While each of the sub-movements arising from these beliefs is delved into within the book, its great achievement is to explain this underlying system of belief, and its relation to each of the ways in which those beliefs are manifested in the institutions Rudolf Steiner founded.

Who was Rudolf Steiner?
