Anthroposophy facts for kids
Anthroposophy is a way of thinking about the world and life, started by Rudolf Steiner. It teaches that people can learn more about the spiritual world by developing themselves from the inside out.
The word Anthropos comes from Greek and means "human being." Sophos means "wise." So, Anthroposophy is like "human wisdom." Steiner believed that every person has the ability to understand the deep mysteries of life. He wanted to focus on wisdom that comes from within each person.

What is Anthroposophy About?
Anthroposophy is not a strict set of rules or beliefs. Instead, it is seen as a philosophy of freedom. It suggests that each person finds their own unique way to connect with the world around them.
Finding Wisdom Through Learning
This path to wisdom involves a lot of research and learning. It's about gaining knowledge. What makes Anthroposophy special is that it brings together knowledge from science, the arts, and spirituality. It looks at all these areas as connected parts of understanding the world.
Helping Others Learn
Anthroposophy also teaches people to respect and support each other. It encourages helping others explore their interests and learn about the spiritual side of life. To help with this, Rudolf Steiner created The Anthroposophical Society in 1923. Today, it is known as the General Anthroposophical Society. This society has groups and smaller societies in more than 75 countries around the world.
