Beschreibung

Born in Holland in 1893, Willem Zeylmans van Emmichoven was an original pioneer of Anthroposophy, the science of spirit established by Rudolf Steiner. As General Secretary of the Anthroposophical Society in the Netherlands, he worked closely with Steiner. A medical doctor and founder of the Rudolf Steiner Clinic in Scheveningen, Netherlands, he also conducted important research into the influence of colors, the psychology of peoples and nations, and individual human psychology. Emanuel Zeylmans' biography of his father draws on beautifully written and moving autobiographical extracts, as well as numerous other first-hand source materials. He traces Zeylmans' remarkable life from his upbringing in Holland and his first contact with Rudolf Steiner to his later attendance at the momentous Christmas Foundation Meeting and his many travels around the world to further Anthroposophy. The author examines the spiritual conflicts in which Zeylmans van Emmichoven became embroiled, his life during the war years, and his innovative work in numerous fields. The author also catalogs Zeylmans van Emmichoven's written works and provides a full chronology of his life. Willem Zeylmans van Emmichoven. offers a compelling documentation of a leading figure connected with Rudolf Steiner. It brings to life the context of his biography-an exciting and yet difficult time in the development of new spiritual ideas-and the vibrant individuals around him. Zeylmans van Emmichoven is portrayed as a warm, dynamic, and fascinating individual with enormous interest in people from widely differing cultures and backgrounds. A true "world citizen," he recognized that every nation has its own special task and importance.
