Title: This work should be read in context
Review: With such a brilliant and comprehensive writer as Steiner, whose collected works span over 350 volumes, one needs to be very careful to read his works in context. It would be easy to misunderstand his ideas by just reading this one book. The four temperaments are given a full elaboration with scientific acumen in many other works from Steiner, including "The Effects of Esoteric Development." This work is a just a small bite into what Steiner has to say about this subject, which concerns the particular formative force that predominates in our overall nexus of life forces, consequently influencing our basic temperament. The complexity of these ideas reach far beyond the psychologies of Freud and Jung, and deeper into the reality of the human being.
