Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Barely four months after the end of the First World War, with Europe in chaos and exhausted from years of conflict, Rudolf Steiner offered these lectures of hope and renewal. Despite continuing social troubles around the world, he knew that human beings had an opportunity to organize society in a new way. Steiner responded to this prospect by giving suggestions for creating innovative social structures that are in harmony with people's inner needs. Humanity as a whole is now facing a great challenge in that it is 'crossing the threshold' to the spiritual world, says Steiner. This means that an evolutionary separation is taking place within the human soul between thinking, feeling and will. For this to happen in a healthy way, the outer make-up of society should mirror and support our internal evolution. Steiner points to the urgent need for 'threefolding' - a separation between the workings of culture, economics and politics. This is a subconscious demand, he asserts - not for thinking up cranky ideas within a sect, but for shedding light on what is needed universally! These important lectures cover numerous themes, including the overcoming of class distinctions, the administration of money, technology and capitalism, the antisocial tendency of nationalism, and the future management of international relations.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rudolf Steiner divides these absorbing, previously-untranslated lectures into three sections, opening with 'The Value of Thinking'. Here, he discusses the quality of thinking itself, contrasting 'dead physical cognition', 'living imaginative cognition', 'inspired cognition', and the latter's connection with previous periods of human and planetary development. He clarifies how 'visionary clairvoyance' can relate to individual intelligence, and also speaks of the submergence of ideas -- the effects of sad or joyful experiences and feelings -- into the unconscious. These can be 'life-promoting' or 'life-inhibiting'. In the second section he speaks about 'The Relationship between Spiritual Science and Natural Science', using a contemporary publication as a case study for how texts can be fruitfully analysed. He characterizes the spiritual-scientific method as allowing facts or personalities to speak for themselves, rather than making personal judgements. Finally, he deliberates on 'Episodic Observations about Space, Time, Movement' -- kinetic formula and concepts such as the speed of light -- introducing, directly from his spiritual observations, notions such as 'light ether'. The lectures are supplemented with an introduction, comprehensive notes, line drawings and an index.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'We see [in the mystery dramas] direct encounters of someone (Johannes) with their own double--or Doppelgänger. We see the appearance of beneficent spiritual beings on stage, such as the Guardian of the Threshold--and adversarial ones, such as Lucifer and Ahriman, experiencing how the latter two beings work and reveal (or do not reveal) themselves. We experience many forms of spiritual deceptions, trials, and breakthroughs. We experience elemental nature beings (in the fourth play) and the presence of those who have died.' -- Richard Ramsbotham (introduction).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rudolf Steiner's architectural masterpiece, the double-domed building, the first Goetheanum, featured decorated ceilings designed and partly painted by Steiner himself, using vegetable colors and a new layering technique. He emphasized that he was looking for a new artistic concept based on consciously understanding the nature of color. Contemporaries reported the extraordinary effect of the domed ceiling paintings combined with the multicolored light coming through the engraved colored-glass windows.
