- Key Points · New edition of a classic work · In the Classics of Anthroposophy series Karl König examines the first three years of the life of the child in relation to the three major achievements of that time: learning to walk, to speak, and to think. These three basic faculties are what make us human, and their acquisition, König argues, is 'an act of grace' in every child. He goes on to provide a detailed analysis of this extraordinarily complex process. Karl König (1902-66) was well-known as a physician, author and lecturer. He began his work at the Institute of Embryology at the University of Vienna. In 1939 he founded the Camphill Movement in Scotland. Based on the educational ideas of Rudolf Steiner, the special education schools for children and villages for adults with special needs are now established all over Britain and Europe, North and South America and Southern Africa. He is the author of Brothers and Sisters: The Order of Birth in the Family and Human Soul: Conscience and Rebirth (both Floris Books).
