Short personal intro. During the last years I among other things have been working to build one site on Waldorf education in cooperation with an American Waldorf teacher (WaldorfAnswers), and another site, also in addition in cooperation with three American Waldorf parents (Americans4Waldorf).

At present, I work part time for the Federation of Waldorf Schools in Sweden to follow what is published in Swedish and international media about Waldorf education and anthroposophy. Outside of my work for the Federation, I participate in discussions of Waldorf education and anthroposophy on the net.

THE CONCEPT OF SCIENCE AND
THE POTENTIATION PROBLEM
During the last 35 years I have spent not little time in periods trying to understand and investigate anthroposophy and especially the relation of anthroposophy to natural science. It has led to some articles on the subject especially dealing with the concept of science (c:a 12 A4-pages) and the potentiation problem in homeopathy (c:a 13 A4-pages) with an introduction.

Though the two articles now are quite old (written 1980-82), some people seem to find them to be of interest (Oct 2010, the article on the concept of science has had some 220,000 page views the last twelve years. 53,000 have been from the Philippines for some reason (stats). The article on the potentiation problem is mentioned at some 400 pages on the net according to Google, (the number varies during different weeks) and seems to have had some 11,900 visits the last appr. twelve years (stats). It seems to indicate they have some value, and I will therefore continue to publish them.

While homeopathy continues to be used extensively by physicians throughout the world, the problem of how to understand how it works (beyond the placebo effect that every treatment, homeopathic and non-homeopatic, has) still has not been answered. This has led to an increasing pressure by non-homeopathic physicians in countries, where it has a strong position, to stop public economical support for it. This has been done for some homeopathic hospitals in the U.K. and the Lancet on Nov 17, 2007 published a special report on the issue, that did not give the opportunity to homeopathic physicians to present the other side of the argument.

Already two days later, the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH) and the International Homeopathic Medical League (LMHI), jointly representing all homeopathic doctors in 58 countries all over the world, published a Press Release, that extensively and in a well documented way addressed the attack.

In spite of continued intense campaigning by secular humanists and skeptics for years, the U.K. government in July 2010 has decided that homeopathy will continue to be available on the NHS and that the local NHS and clinicians, rather than Whitehall, are best placed to make decisions on what treatment is appropriate for their patients.

THE HIDDEN AGENDA OF THE EU-PROCESS AND HOW TO HANDLE IT
As a part of this study I also have spent quite some time trying to understand and investigate the picture that anthroposophy mediates of history. It has then turned out that it throws a light also on the development of Europe during th2 20th century and especially the development of the EC/EU since the middle of the 1980s, showing that it follows a basic, more long-term implicit time table for the period 1986-2030 through seven phases. On one page; How can the EU be transformed into the good European house? (c:a 13 A4-pages), you can read an article based on an understanding of its implicit, "mechanical", "hidden agenda". Though I wrote it in its outline around 1996, I think it still is valid, even though it could need some updating and include some of the development since I wrote it.
      The article is easier to read if you have a basic understanding of anthroposophy, but I hope it is also possible to read for a wider public.

THE CELL CYCLE AS A MIRROR OF THE EVOLUTION OF COSMOS
At one time, Rudolf Steiner (founder of Waldorf education) made the provocative suggestion that cell biology at Waldorf schools be taught from what he called a "cosmological" perspective. For one possible perspective on this, see here.

SOME LINKS to other places at www that treat or relate to natural scientific questions from an anthroposophical perspective can be found at a special link page.

WALDORF EDUCATION is a growing school movement. At present, there probably existed in the order of 1,000 Waldorf schools and 1600 Waldorf kindergartens worldwide. For a page on the Waldorf movement, especially related to the U.S., see here.

MOST OF THE MATERIAL on this site has its roots in anthroposophy. Some basic material by Rudolf Steiner and others on the nature of man and society can be found on another page on this site.

A NUMBER of other sites have put up links to this site, or special articles on this site. Those that I found at one time when I investigated the issue you can find here.

IF YOU have any comments on the articles, I am of course interested in taking part in them.

You can send them to my email address
