Definition

Relating to anthroposophy, a spiritual philosophy that emphasizes human wisdom and the spiritual development of humanity.

Etymology

From 'anthropos' (human) + 'sophia' (wisdom). This adjective form of anthroposophy became common in early 20th-century spiritual and educational movements.

Kelly Says

Rudolf Steiner founded anthroposophy in the early 1900s, and it influenced alternative education (Waldorf schools) and agriculture (biodynamic farming). It's kind of like Eastern spirituality but specifically focused on Western human development.
