Description
I have long felt that Steiner's Philosophy of Freedom (1894) exhibits a twofold nature. Certain parts transcend the time of their writing, and stand today as fresh and valid as ever. These parts of The Philosophy of Freedom are immortal.
Yet other parts are not. There Steiner deals with worldviews and philosophers (notably Eduard von Hartmann) that are no longer relevant today. And these sections actually dilute the argument; although it is perhaps heretical to say so, they diminish the book as a whole.
Moreover, a great deal of the volume's attraction lies in the elegance of its formulations. Again and again Steiner is able to frame his argument in lapidary maxims. These should be highlighted and brought to the fore.
Thus I hit on the idea of an abridged version, which would remove the distractions and make the gems stand out. The following chapter is such a version, which speaks for itself, and is already maximally concise.
