We live in the age of individuality.
There is great interest in social change that supports individualism.
Rudolf Steiner's "Philosophy Of Freedom" was written for our age.
It was written for those striving for individuality.
"The Philosophy Of Freedom" begins by giving
twelve principles of individual life.
The first principle is that an individualist
makes an energetic effort to shake off every kind of authority.
Nothing is accepted as valid
unless it springs from the roots of individuality.
You do not look for a hero to follow, but find your own way.
You will not allow ideals to be forced upon you.
You are convinced that in each of us, if we probe deep enough,
there is something noble and worthy of development.
You no longer believe
that we must all strive to conform to a common norm.
No one will be left behind.
The perfection of the whole
depends on the unique perfection of each single individual.
You do not want to do what anyone else can do equally well.
Because you are unique,
your contribution must be something that you alone can offer.
You assert the right to creatively express what is unique in you,
without being concerned with suppressive rules or social norms.
Your writing does not conform
to the standards that grammar demands.
You do not want to be dependent in any way.
These are the principles of individual life.
This is what freedom looks like.
If you support freedom for all, the Philosophy Of Freedom is for you.
