Essays From Earth’s History
Dankmar Bosse
This book is written for all readers interested in the earth sciences, geology, Goethean Science, and Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy. It builds and adds to what the author wrote about in "The Mutual Evolution of Earth and Humanity: Sketch of a Geology and Paleontology of the Living Earth." He compares and contrasts the research results of geology and paleontology with those of Anthroposophical Spiritual Science. The earth's history is an encompassing process that has sense-perceptible and suprasensible sides. The results of spiritual-scientific research can be tested on nature's phenomena and the Goethean path of knowledge. This way leads through the observations to concepts and ideas which are experienced as true. Thus the geological connections down to the details of rock, a fossil, or a landscape, have proven to be an astonishingly faithful image of the suprasensible development of the human being, as Rudolf Steiner describes it. In “Essays from Earth's History,” Dankmar Bosse explores how these topics and methods intersect with our modern lives.

The Mutual Evolution of Earth and Humanity
Dankmar Bosse
The Mutual Evolution of the Earth and Humanity is an epic work by Dankmar Bosse that presents, for the first time, a comprehensive picture of the evolution of the earth and its natural kingdoms, based primarily on geology and paleontology, and with references to the results of Rudolf Steiner's spiritualscientific research. It was translated with great care by Frank Fawcett. "The Evolution of the Cosmos and Humanity," chapter 4 of Rudolf Steiner's fundamental work in 1910, An Outline of Esoteric Science, is the single most extensive expression of his suprasensory research into evolution as a whole. Nonetheless, it is an "outline," leaving much to be explored from numerous perspectives, including the various fields of natural science from which Steiner's approach grew. Finally, Dankmar Bosse offers a geoscience analog to Steiner's findings with this publication. Bosse illumines numerous questions concerning the natural sciences from a new orientation―for example, the relationship between humanity and the evolution of the animal kingdom, the origin of the deeper crystalline rocks, and the formation of our present-day landscapes on earth. The Mutual Evolution of Earth and Humanity offers a fascinating exposition of the development of earth and humanity, illustrated abundantly with color photographs and diagrams. This pioneering book will be useful to teachers, students, scientists, and anyone interested in our human relationship with the world around us. Essays from Earth's History by Dankmar Bosse is a companion to this book.
