At the time, like much of the thinking today and the foundation of modern natural science, the predominant theories held that individual knowledge is limited to thinking that reflects objective, sensory perception. Steiner's view was eventually distilled in his \u003ci\u003eAnthroposophical Leading Thoughts\u003c\/i\u003e in 1924: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThere are those who believe that, with the limits of knowledge derived from sensory perception, the limits of all insight are given. Yet if they would carefully observe how they become conscious of these limits, they would find in the very consciousness of the limits the faculties to transcend them. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this concise volume, Steiner lays out his argument for this view and, moreover, begins his explication of how one goes beyond thinking to the observation of thinking itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eGoethe's Theory of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for a deeper understanding of Rudolf Steiner's seminal work, \u003ci\u003eIntuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path: A Philosophy of Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e by Christopher Bamford \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003ePreface to the Edition of 1924\u003c\/b\u003e by Rudolf Steiner \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eForeword to the First Edition (1886)\u003c\/b\u003e by Rudolf Steiner \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eA.
