| Abstract | "In 2011 the Fichte scholar Hartmut Traub published a 1,000 page study on Rudolf Steiner"s early philosophical writings entitled Philosophie und Anthroposophie: Die philosophische Weltanschauung Rudolf Steiners. Grundlegung und Kritik (Stuttgart: Kohlhammer Verlag). On the one hand, Traub"s book convincingly demonstrates the fruitfulness of locating Steiner"s philosophy within the tradition of German Idealism. On the other, his judgment of Steiner"s philosophical originality is for the most part negative. According to Traub, Steiner simply lifted many of his ideas, arguments and termini technici from the German idealists, especially from J.G. Fichte. The following review-essay seeks to make a contribution to the current debate on the most appropriate scientific principles for Steiner research. The text originally appeared in German in the December 2012, January and April 2013 issues of the journal Die Drei. My point of departure were the questions: are there any other ways of understanding the Fichtean heritage in the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner than those proposed by Traub? And how can one objectively approach the topic of Steiner"s originality? Hartmut Traub replied to this review-essay in the April 2013 issue of Die Drei. He acknowledged that we share many points in common regarding the Fichte-Steiner relationship, however, he rejected the majority of my criticisms as largely misunderstandings on my part. As I noted in my answer to him in the same April issue, Traub"s reply did not convince me that the substance and nature of my original judgments were invalid. In the present English version of this review-essay I have nevertheless tried to improve on the precision and detail of some of my criticisms. (Author)". |
