Inhaltsangabe

In this concise and richly-illustrated work, Olive Whicher introduces a radical new science of living organisms, forms and processes, based on the pioneering work of Rudolf Steiner and his pupil George Adams.

If we are to understand fully the laws of living nature, she argues, it is necessary to overcome the one-sided ideas of modern science--ideas that are only adequate to describe material forms and forces. We need to widen our thinking to include the "etheric formative forces"--forces that are alive in ethereal space or "counterspace." Such forces work in plants, for example, by drawing matter upward in a suctional manner, in contrast to the forces of gravity, which draw downward, and the forces of an explosion, which work up and out.

This accessible introduction to etheric formative forces will be valuable to anybody seeking to comprehend the living world around us.
