The main thesis deals with the educational theories of Rudolf Steiner. These theories are dealt with in Parts III to VIII of the thesis. Before this, in Part 1, there occurs a brief description of the background and life of Steiner; and, in Part II, a,, philosophical discussion of the basic tenets and assumptions upon which Steiner's educational theories rest. The areas dealt with in Parts III to VIII are divided into three. The first is an exposition of Steiner's ideas; the second is a comparison and appraisal of Steiner's theories with other educationalists; the third is an examination and evaluation of some of the concepts which are fundamental to Steiner's theories. The first of these areas i. e. the exposition of Steiner's ideas, is subdivided into three: his views on the nature of the child and the'way in which the child grows and develops; methodologies of teaching; and content and curriculum. An exposition of Steiner's theories on the nature of the child and its development occurs in Part III. - This is followed, in Part IV, by an evaluation of his theories by comparing them with other educationaliits. In Part V an examination of Steiner's theories on methodologies of teaching, by considering his views of "The Temperaments", occurs; - reference and comparisons to other educationalists are made in the same section. In. Part VI descriptions of the Waldorf curriculum are given and this is followed by an evaluation at the end of the section. The evaluation examines 'a number of concepts upon which the Waldorf curriculum has bpen formulated in the context of modern day curriculum objectives, design and learning experiences. In Part VII a brief historical perspective : is obtained of Steiner's theories by comparing his views with those of Plato, Rousseau and Montessori. This perspective is placed in a modern day context in Part VIII, and is obtained by an examination of many of the concepts fundamental to Steiner's theories. This includes a detailed critique of two of the main assumptions upon which Steiner's theories of education rest; an examination of the relationship of the individual to society in an educational context; and a discussion of the nature and aims of the educational process.

Esta investigación sobre una educación para la libertad de los individuos, surge a partir de un replantearse la crisis de la educación tradicional, y llamo crisis a las formas y métodos de saber y aprender que nos han dado la capacidad de manipular y maniobrar al mundo pero al mismo tiempo nos han apartado de él y de nosotros mismos. Nos hemos convertido en observadores de un mundo extraño, fundamentándose esta extrañeza en lo distante que estamos con nosotros mismos. El objetivo de este estudio es el plantearse el rol que juega la voluntad en el proceso de creación de realidades, el cómo habita el sujeto este mundo, a partir de lo que ha podido lograr a lo largo de su periodo de enseñanza que imperiosamente no finaliza nunca. El cómo educar al ser humano desde sus inicios marcará la diferencia entre las distinciones, elecciones, y formas de expresarse y desarrollarse que logrará efectuar en el futuro.
