This week, we bring you reflections on the 100 Years Rudolf Steiner conference held at Harvard University—a discourse that revealed the tensions in practicing reverent yet critical science. Ashton Arnoldy and Matthew Segall conclude with a hopeful note for the future of anthroposophy, drawing on what the conference exemplified: “disciplined spiritual imagination cojoined with committed historical conscience.” Even here, a delicate tension is discernible: imagination is cool, while conscience is full of warmth. Anthroposophy therefore flourishes when—as at Harvard—we succeed in living and uniting its contradictions.
