Given the holistic perspective attributed to Rudolf Steiner on education, the researchers took upon themselves to initially clarify his humanistic stance on education and then apply the findings to the teaching of mathematics. To this end, a sample of all writings on Steiner’s approach to education, published within the span of 22 years (2000-2022) was theme analyzed and the derived data were validated through acceptable and reliable methods. Data analysis yielded three organizing concepts and 15 basic themes. The organizing concepts are the correspondence between existential dimensions of humans and nature, the spirituality of mankind, and the holistic and evolutionary perspective on humans. The attempt at utilizing these findings in teaching mathematics indicated that by taking advantage from areas such as art, as the main setting, along with a holistic approach to education, the development of all existential dimensions would be provided for. Thus, policymakers should correct the one-dimensional approach to education and incorporate the affective dimension too.
