Rudolf Steiner and His Waldorf Philosophy
September 22, 2026
The name Rudolf Steiner resonates. To some, he's a visionary educational reformer and humanist. To others, the founder of a world view that lies beyond scientific validity. His teachings have shaped education, agriculture and medicine—garnering plenty of criticism, along the way.
The film paints a nuanced portrait of a thinker vacillating between a desire for reform and esotericism. It explores the enduring impact of his ideas and asks what role they play in the present day, at a time when scientific knowledge and social norms are increasingly coming into question. Does Steiner's esoteric world view help fuel today's skepticism towards science?
