Anthroposophy and its Defenders (3258 words) |
 | Although Waage has nothing to say about the articles main topic, the systematic collusion between organized anthroposophy and the so-called "green wing" of German fascism, he does raise several issues that lie at the core of that collusion. |
| Waage reminds readers of Humanist that Steiner "at the end of the century was involved in the Association Against Anti-Semitism." Indeed, Steiner was a friend of Ludwig Jacobowski, an employee of the Verein zur Abwehr des Antisemitismus (Society for Protection Against Antisemitism). |
| Waage believes that Steiner "cannot justly be called a racist" and that anthroposophys peculiar philosophy of root-races constitutes "a sound anti-racist view." To support these claims Waage tells us that "already in 1909" Steiner "stopped using" the terms "root race" and "Aryan." Waage seems to be rather confused about the chronology here. |
| Institute for Social Ecology - The Janus Face of Anthroposophy (5728 words) |
| Waages grasp of the research on Hess is tenuous at best; he considers Ilse Hess a credible source regarding her husband, a position that is rejected by historians but shared by neo-Nazis. |
| And Waages laughable contention that J. Hauer was the source of our arguments regarding Hess shows that Waage has no idea who Hauer was: a crackpot whose obvious incompetence prevented him from ever achieving any position of influence even in a regime run by crackpots. |
| Waages own self-conception as a non-anthroposophist is rather undermined by his peculiar insistence that critics of anthroposophy must adopt a properly reverential attitude toward Steiner before they dare to assess his public activities. |
