Rudolf Steiner was an Austrian philosopher and educationalist who lived in the 1800s and early 1900s. He said that education should be holistic, meaning that it should take into account a person's emotional, spiritual, physical, and intellectual needs. He also believed that education should be based on nature and that teacher and student should work together to understand learning. In addition, Steiner created a type of school called Waldorf school, which is a kind of alternative school that focuses on holistic education and learning through experience.
