Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The Philosophy of Freedom describes Rudolf Steiner's path to freedom. It contains the nonconformist ideals of his youth that result from his study of mathematics, science, and philosophy culminating in a philosophy of life founded upon individualistic truth and ethical individualism. This is the first English translation and the only one sanctioned by Rudolf Steiner himself. Joint translators Prof. and Mrs. R. F. Alfred Hoernl were selected for their outstanding qualifications. First published in 1916, it is based on the original 1894 German ""Die Philosophie der Freiheit"". Other translations have been based on the 1918 revised German edition. It includes inspiring passages about individualism that were removed from the book in 1918 and are missing in later translations: "We no longer believe that there is a norm to which we must all strive to conform."" ""If only we probe deep enough into the very heart of our being, there dwells something noble, something worthy of development."

Translated from the German.
