Anthroposophy and Ecofascism 95

Continuing my commentary on the 28th paragraph of Peter Staudenmaier's Anthroposophy and Ecofascism.


Finally Peter Staudenmaier says, again without citations, that unnamed anthroposophists in the 1990's insist that Germany bears no responsibility for World War One, and it is implied, though not directly claimed, that they do this because Steiner said so. As is distressingly common in this piece, the footnotes for this section do not substantiate any of the claims (for example, none of them talk about the views of anthroposophists in the 1990's).


Most of paragraph 28 is unsubstantiated misrepresentation woven into a largely fictional narrative. The first quote is blatantly mistranslated (as I explained in part 91).
