This book originated in lectures Steiner gave to a small circle of
theosophists and constitutes the earliest public exposition of his
spiritual scientific research. In it Steiner deals with the impact
of modern scientific thinking on our spiritual experiences and the
conflict between reason and revelation. He looks at how eleven European
mystics resolved the dichotomy between their inner spiritual perceptions
and individual freedom and the age of invention and discovery then coming
to birth. It was originally published in German as,
Die Mystik Im Aufgange des Neuzeitlichen Geisteslebens
und Ihr Verhaeltnis zur Modernen Weltanschauung.
The individuals considered are:
Meister Eckhart,
Johannes Tauler,
Heinrich Suso,
Jan van Ruysbroeck,
Cardinal Nicolas of Cusa,
Agrippa of Nettesheim,
Paracelsus,
Valentin Weigel,
Jacob Boehme,
Giordano Bruno, and
Angelus Silesius.

Ein Überblick über die wesentlichen
Erscheinungsformen der abendändischen Mystik von Meister
Eckhart bis Angelus Silesius. Die Besonderheit der in diesem Band
vorgestellten Betrachtungsweise liegt vor allem darin, dass
Rudolf Steiner einen inneren Zusammenhang zwischen den mystischen
Strömungen gegen Ende des Mittelalters und der Entwicklung
der modernen Naturwissenschaft aufzuzeigen vermag.

Eleven European Mystics
-
This book is the fruit of Steiner's lecturing activity. The substance
of it was contained in a series of lectures he gave in Berlin beginning
just after Michaelmas in 1900, when he was thirty-nine. Steiner later
wrote, “By means of the ideas of the mystics from Meister Eckhart
to Jacob Boehme, I found expression for the spiritual perceptions which,
in reality, I decided to set forth. I then summarized the series of
lectures in the book,
Mysticism at the Dawn of the Modern Age.”
