Way of cognition

In the course of its development, humanity has developed really high level methodology of scientific knowledge. This methodology has been successfully applied to the study of the material natural world. Anthroposophy uses the same instrument for research and cognizing of spiritual reality. It also consider the cognitive process as spiritual one because it is realized by thinking human spirit cognizing himself and outer world.

Moreover cognition is the one of the basic human needs. In order to grasp this it is enough to look at the child who seeks with all his being to understand the world – and not only the visible part of it but also the essence of phenomenon. It clearly follows from the infinite children "Why?", while children have no doubt that the world is knowable and that every "Why?!" has a specific comprehensive answer. In the process of growing and learning many people lose this naive children's confidence not only because the world has really complex structure. The other reason is that there is a kind of obstacles on the way of each person striving for knowledge – the results of research of the authorities who considered to be true a priori.

Anthroposophy is the way of knowledge which leads man to overcome the dogmas of knowledge and the dogmas of faith to the cognizing of "things in themselves". In this case existing knowledge is not rejected but it is considered as the basis for new knowledge which must go beyond the old one because the cognitive abilities of human being are constantly expanding.
