The Anthroposophical Problem

Reading about Steiner and Anthroposophy and basically claim across the verificationist criteria that at some level is the basis of all science, especially during the time in which he lived, which corresponded right with the logical positivists in Europe

Anthroposophy, also called "spiritual science", is a spiritual philosophy based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner,[1] which states that anyone who "conscientiously cultivates sense-free thinking" can attain experience of and insights into the spiritual world.[2] Those who engage in "anthroposophical research" say that they seek to attain in its investigations of the spiritual world the precision and clarity of natural science's investigations of the physical world.[2] Anthroposophy's claimed status as a science has been rejected by at least one philosopher of science on the basis of the difficulty or impossibility of duplicating its results.
