John Dunn original writing
Rudolf Steiner
Steiner’s point
Nevertheless, Steiner’s point, expressed in The Philosophy of Freedom, is that everything is knowable. He did, of course, dismiss the passive looker-on of Lockean naive realism. But much more importantly, Steiner offered as his major breakthrough a means of getting beyond the Spinozist residue in Kant’s philosophy, without resorting to a simple upending of Spinoza, substituting one unquestioned presupposition for another, the absolute Substance for the absolute I. Steiner went beyond Kant, in that he went beyond the unknowable external agent, the thing-in-itself, but also beyond Fichte and the Romantics; not creating reality, but rather intuiting the emergence of reality.

Endeavour is all
Our potential for freedom lies in our successful reinstatement of the active, creative and intuitive “I” back into the process of thinking, and so back into the otherwise dead world around us.

Just a thought:
The division and simplification of tasks, the co-ordination of the work of the gang and other ‘capitalist’ features of plantation slavery’s work regime anticipated Frederick Winslow Taylor’s theory of ‘scientific management’. John Dunn (Renaissance: Counter-Renaissance)
