“All knowledge pursued merely for the enrichment of personal learning and the accumulation of personal treasure leads you away from the path; but all knowledge pursued for growth to ripeness within the process of human ennoblement and cosmic development brings you a step forward.”

~ Rudolf Steiner

Science is not a fixed or unified method, not an entity with transhistorical coherence, but a historically contingent, rhetorically positioned, and institutionally regulated discourse.

"Science is not a monolith but a name retrospectively given to a shifting collection of practices, epistemologies, instruments, and authorities—named so, that is, after the fact, and often in ways that serve to consolidate legitimacy, marginalize rivals, and protect institutional inheritance."

"Scientism demands replacing religion by science-based philosophy and thus becomes a religion."

—"Reconstructing Nature," Brooke & Cantor, 1998.

"May my soul bloom in love for all existence."

After all, we are trying to establish a relationship between us, you and I. If I am using you, or you are using me, we have no relationship. Then you exploit me and I exploit you. But if each one of us is trying to understand the problem which is oneself, then we shall establish right relationship. Then, perhaps, when we discuss - not intellectually, not verbally - we can explore ourselves, we can see ourselves as we are; because, after all, relationship is a mirror in which I see myself as I am - that is, if I want to see myself. But, as most of us dislike to see what is we make relationship a farce. Relationship then becomes an escape.⁠

"I have pointed out that while human bodies will develop in such a way that certain spiritualities can find room in them, the materialistic bent, which will spread more and more under the guidance of the spirits of darkness, will work against this and combat it by physical means. I have told you that the spirits of darkness are going to inspire their human hosts, in whom they will be dwelling, to find a vaccine that will drive all inclination towards spirituality out of people's souls when they are still very young, and this will happen in a roundabout way through the living body. Today, bodies are vaccinated against one thing and another; in future, children will be vaccinated with a substance which it will certainly be possible to produce, and this will make them immune, so that they do not develop foolish inclinations connected with spiritual life—‘foolish’ here, of course, in the eyes of materialists."
