Education and Modern Spiritual Life [ Edit ] Reviews(0)
by: Rudolf Steiner
(14 lectures: Ilkley, England, Aug. 1923; GA 307)
These lectures form one of the most comprehensive introductions to the philosophy of Waldorf education. These lectures have been published under the title: A Modern Art of Education.
The spiritual values inherent in the education of children is the main thrust of these lectures. In addition to education, Steiner connects the results of a pedagogy based on spiritual insights and values with a mature, responsible, adult way of life. The negative results of not incorporating ethical, spiritual ideas and values in education is contrasted to the results of a positive, spiritual methodology. Steiner also points to the practice and realizations in daily life of a living proof of his ideas: the founding of the first Waldorf School in 1919.

A Spiritual Approach to Social Issues [ Edit ] Reviews(0)
by: Rudolf Steiner
Translated by Joe Reuter
(11 lectures: Dornach, January 5 - May 6 1920; GA 334)
Out of his passionate engagement with the social problems of the modern age, Steiner here discusses the political, economic, and social conflicts of our time as symptoms of faulty thinking. His analysis of economic crises, unemployment, and political uprisings unmasks their true nature as signs of the need for new thinking. An indictment of materialist politics and economics, these lectures show how anthroposophy and its thinking can lead to a renewal of society and true freedom for the individual. In view of the current economic and political difficulties in the world, Steiner's insights come as a fresh breeze of air, awakening us to responsibility and hope. His comments on the Russian communist state — seventy years before its decline — are especially poignant. In forceful, clear language Steiner passionately presents his vision of the threefold social order, an order based on free will and spiritual insight and therefore appropriate for free individuals in our time. In addition to these brilliant lectures, this volume also contains exciting discussions between Steiner and his audience.

 Agriculture [ Edit ] Reviews(4)
by: Rudolf Steiner
(8 lectures; Koberwitz, Silesia; June 1924; GA 327)
In 1924, following repeated requests, Rudolf Steiner gave this series of lectures to a group of experienced farmers. His intention was not to teach farming, but to supplement their existing sound farming practices with an understanding of the spiritual forces of nature.
Considered by many to be Steiner's most remarkable lectures, they contain profound insights into the nature of the farm organization, the plant and animal world, the nature of organic chemistry, and the influences of the heavenly bodies. Without diminishing the importance of the chemical makeup of matter, Steiner emphasized the greater significance of the forces that shape the constituents of living nature. He identified many of these forces and described specific practices and preparations that enable the farmer to work in concert with them.

This course of lectures given to doctors and curative teachers contains an astonishing number of fertile suggestions for the treatment of retarded and handicapped children. Beginning with the general principles of curative education and the relationships of the four bodies of the human being, Steiner then discusses particular cases such as: epilepsy, hydrocephalus, infantilism, adenoids, kleptomania, the autistic child, and more. A great variety of remedies and treatments are discussed along with many details of their effects on the different organs. These lectures constitute one of Steiner's major contributions to the treatment of children "in need of special care."
