Perhaps the most difficult of Rudolf Steiner's written works, "Anthroposophy; a Fragment" rewards a careful study. The work on the 10 senses is articulate such that the reader can begin to explore these modalities directly.

Equally significant to any of the content of this work is the struggled style in which it is written. Steiner never finished writing this work (or at least was never satisfied enough to publish)primarily because of the difficulty in finding a language which could hold this highly particular and objective description of phenomenological research.

The introductions are both helpful, especially Robert Sardello's preface which stands on its own as a significant step towards a new psychology based in a revisioned phenomenology. For those interested in reading an example of a highly individualized articulation of some of the perceptions which Steiner points to in this work, I would recommend reading Robert Sardello's groundbreaking work in spiritual psychology, "Love and the World".
