D.N. Dunlop -- occultist, theosophist, anthroposophist, founder of the World Power Conference, personal friend of Rudolf Steiner and W.B. Yeats -- combined remarkable practical capacities in industry and commerce with deep spiritual work. Meyer's biography provides a colorful panorama of Dunlop's life, from his childhood on the Isle of Arran to his close work with Rudolf Steiner and the anthroposophical movement. Previously unavailable material on the Anthroposophical Society's tragic split is particularly useful for a true evaluation of a difficult period in its history.

Die "Wissenschaft des Judentums"

Das mag daran gelegen haben, dass man diese Korrelation mit der im frühen 19. Jahrhundert entstandenen »Wissenschaft des Judentums« gleichgesetzt hatte, diese wiederum auf ihre apologetischen und philologischen Interessen hin einschränkte und damit die Bedeutung des Verhältnisses marginalisiert wurde. Der Sammelband soll ein erster Schritt sein, diese Lücke zu schließen.
