Karl-Ernst Schäfer (*1912 Germany; † 1981 Old Lyme (Conn), USA)[1] was a professor of environmental physiology in the USA, a former submarine officer. As a medical researcher he carried out studies on carbon dioxide for the Navy.[2] Together with Gerhard Kienle he organized the symposium "Menschengemäße Physiologische Wissenschaft und Medizin" ("Man-centered Physiological Science and Medicine") in Herdecke, Germany, from which the Free European Academy of Sciences (FEAW) and later the University of Witten/Herdecke developed. He edited the congress lectures in the volumes "Toward a man-centered science" (1977)[3], "Basis of an Individual Physiology" (1979)[4], and "Individuation Process and Biographical Aspects of Disease" (1979)[5]. He was involved with Otto Wolff in the founding of the U.S. Physicians Association for Anthroposophic Medicine (PAAM).
