The Free European Academy of Sciences (FEAW) was a scientific organization founded on July 8, 1976 at the Vrije Hoggeschool in Driebergen. The first board members were Herbert Hensel, Gerhard Kienle, M. Kriele, B.C.J. Lievegoed, C.J. Zwart.
B. Lievegoed reports:
She set the following topics as her task:
- What are the legal, administrative, and organizational consequences of the principle of freedom of teaching and research?
- What is a fact in the sense of epistemology and natural science?
It brought together over 60 international university teachers with anthroposophical-anthropological, humanistic concerns. Among them were anthroposophically motivated university teachers such as Herbert Hensel, Gunther Hildebrandt, Wolfgang Blankenburg and Bernard Lievegoed as well as international scientists such as the computer specialist Joseph Weizenbaum, the physiologist Paul Weiss, or Samuel Beecher, who had opposed drug experiments on addicts, prisoners or the mentally handicapped in the USA. In the invitation letter of the FEAW, Diether Lauenstein formulated:
It [the FEAW] brings together scholars who seek the common intellectual basis of their sciences, work against mere positivism, and connect their fields of expertise in an interdisciplinary way, not only retrospectively. Although the inviters regard Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy as a fruitful interpretation of the world, they would like to connect in the Academy with all such scholars who pose the question of truth in their science philosophically.
