The Philosophy of Freedom
G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York and London, 1916.
This first English translation by Prof. and Mrs. R. F. Alfred Hoernlé was based on the original 1894 German edition and the only one sanctioned by Rudolf Steiner himself. The opening chapter entitled The Goal of Knowledge was removed in subsequent editions.
The original German for this chapter up through the first few pages of Human Individuality are contained exclusively in this volume.
