Written 1884-1885; first published 1886 (CW 2)

As the editor of Goethe's scientific writings during the 1880s, Rudolf Steiner became immersed in a worldview that paralleled and amplified his own views in relation to epistemology, the interface between science and philosophy, the theory of how we know the world and ourselves. At the time, like much of the thinking today and the foundation of modern natural science, the predominant theories held that individual knowledge is limited to thinking that reflects objective, sensory perception. Steiner's view was eventually distilled in his Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts in 1924: "There are those who believe that, with the limits of knowledge derived from sensory perception, the limits of all insight are given. Yet if they would carefully observe how they become conscious of these limits, they would find in the very consciousness of the limits the faculties to transcend them."

In this concise volume, Steiner lays out his argument for this view and, moreover, begins his explication of how one goes beyond thinking to the observation of thinking itself.

Goethe's Theory of Knowledge is essential reading for a deeper understanding of Rudolf Steiner's seminal work, Intuitive Thinking as a Spiritual Path: A Philosophy of Freedom.

Good price for the quality
Size: 14.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using Gold Bond Men’s Essentials Everyday Moisture Body & Hand Lotion for a long time now and honestly I really like it. The smell is nice and clean, not too strong or overpowering. It works great for daily use and keeps my skin feeling soft and good moisturized all day. Absorbs pretty fast and doesn’t feel greasy, which I like. For the price, it’s a really good deal and lasts a long time. Pros: Nice smell Good moisturizing Been using this for long time Good price for the quality Cons: The only problem I had was the shipping took way too long. It’s kind of unusual for Amazon. Overall, still a solid product and I would buy it again.

Does exactly what it says, no fuss
Size: 14.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Been using this every morning after my shower for the past few weeks and my dry, cracked hands have made a real comeback. It absorbs fast — no greasy residue, no waiting around. The scent is clean and subtle, nothing overpowering. For $11 and a bottle that actually lasts, this is a no-brainer. Solid everyday lotion for guys who just want something that works.

Finally, a lotion that doesn't feel like a layer of grease
Size: 24 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve always hated using lotion because of that sticky, slippery feeling, but this Gold Bond Men's Essentials is different. It actually absorbs in about 15 seconds as advertised and leaves my skin feeling smooth but totally dry to the touch. The Spring Water/Sandalwood scent is clean and masculine without being overpowering or smelling like a "perfume". Perfect for daily use after a shower. This hand cream soaked in just like the packaging says in less than 15 seconds. I could feel the difference in my cracked cuticles almost immediately. HIghly recommend.
