Second Lecture

What has come into the whole of human life as an actual effect of agnosticism was particularly observable at the time when the path to the roots of what I now call anthroposophy opened up to me. My first search for these roots took place in the 1880s, and anyone who wants to follow that search will find clues in my writings, which I composed as introductions to Goethe's scientific works, in my writings “Goethe's Theory of Knowledge,” in my short work “Truth and Science,” and then in “The Philosophy of Freedom,” which was published in the early 1990s.
