John Dunn original writing
He swept aside the Kantian residue
In September 1919, Benedetto Croce invited Gentile to review, for La Critica (the bi-monthly magazine edited by Croce), The Philosophy of Freedom by Rudolf Steiner.139 On the first of October, Gentile confirmed that he had received the book and undertook to send the review as soon as possible. This was published in the 20th November issue of the same year. The Philosophy of Freedom was the foundational work of Steiner’s voluminous output. Upon this work the rest of the edifice that came to be known as Anthroposophy stands or falls. Steiner’s argument is that there is nothing that cannot be known. At a stroke he swept aside the Kantian residue, i.e. the idealist theory that there is a world of unknowable entities, the things- in-themselves or noumena, that form the basis of everything we perceive and act upon in the mind.

Just a thought:
Sugar, tobacco, coffee and chocolate, quite apart from cheap cotton clothing... In many respects, these were the ‘drugs’ which initially drew populations into wage labour de- pendency. John Dunn (Renaissance: Counter-Renaissance)
