Rudolf Steiner Press

Rudolf Steiner Press is an independent publishing company and registered charity. Our editorial brief is to publish books that further spiritual science, or anthroposophy, as founded by the Austrian thinker Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925). Our titles are for general readers, with the main focus being on the books and published lectures of Rudolf Steiner. In addition we publish introductory books as well as more specialist research.

A number of organizations have published Rudolf Steiner's works since the early 1900s, but Rudolf Steiner Press is now the sole publisher and distributor of his work in the U.K. Our company has gone under various guises over the decades, but was established as Rudolf Steiner Press Ltd. and as a registered charity in 1991. It remains an independent company and charity with its own board of trustees, but is closely associated with the Anthroposophical Society in Great Britain.

Rudolf Steiner Press works closely with its sister organization, SteinerBooks, in the USA. Although independent, we distribute each other's books and cooperate on publishing programmes.

The company has been managed and directed by Sevak Gulbekian since January 1994.

ABOUT RUDOLF STEINER

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) called his spiritual philosophy 'anthroposophy', meaning 'wisdom of the human being'. As a highly developed seer, he based his work on direct knowledge and perception of spiritual dimensions. He initiated a modern and universal 'science of spirit', accessible to anyone willing to exercise clear and unprejudiced thinking.

From his spiritual investigations Steiner provided suggestions for the renewal of many activities, including education (both general and special), agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy, religion and the arts. Today there are thousands of schools, clinics, farms and other organizations involved in practical work based on his principles. His many published works feature his research into the spiritual nature of the human being, the evolution of the world and humanity, and methods of personal development. Steiner wrote some 30 books and delivered over 6000 lectures across Europe. In 1924 he founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world.
