Anthroposophy & Imagination

by Kate Farrell, Robert A. McDermott (Series Editor)

In what way is imagination true? And what can it do for us? This collection reflects the view that true imagination, unlike mere fantasy, is a more-than-rational way of knowing; a natural bridge between matter and spirit; and a transformative state and stage of consciousness, open to us all. Contributors to this special issue of the Journal for Anthroposophy include physicist Arthur Zajonc, filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, philosophers Owen Barfield, Georg Kühlewind and Jacques Lusseyran, and other such authors as Gertrude Reif Hughes, Christopher Bamford, Michael Lipson, and Andrew Welburn.

About the author

Catharine (Kate) Farrell has always loved stories. During her years teaching high school in the mid-1960s in San Francisco, stories spoke a special language. Gaining a Masters in Library Science (UC, Berkeley), Kate returned to the City schools. When the Zellerbach Family Fund awarded her a grant to teach storytelling to California teachers, Kate conducted a successful decades-long project. Now a published author of educational books, Kate is a high school librarian and lives in Sonoma County."
