Aurora and Centaur: Reality Description in the Age of Technology

Our era is characterised by enormous technological developments. Only a thorough analysis of current scientific thinking will be able to show which aspects of it will be beneficial for future civilisation. The humanities and natural sciences must engage with each other in order to regain access to the reality of a world that today, under the demands of progress in the 'positive sciences', has been reduced to mere linguistic descriptions, largely in the form of algorithms. Aurora and Centaur endeavours to reconstruct the epistemology of Goethe's world view, as elaborated by Rudolf Steiner, in order to combine the rigour of the positive sciences with the creativity typical of the arts. In doing so, Steiner paved the way for the development of a new form of science that is capable of grasping different levels of natural being, including life itself, based on the free activity of the experiencing subject.
