Nature and Man in Spiritual Scientific Contemplation

Natur und Mensch in geisteswissenschaftlicher Betrachtung

Volume VI - Ten Lectures, Dornach 7 January to 27 February 1924.

The remarkable discussions in this volume took place between Rudolf Steiner and workers at the Goetheanum, Switzerland. The varied subject-matter was chosen by his audience at Rudolf Steiner's instigation. Steiner took their questions and usually gave immediate answers. The astonishing nature of these responses - their insight, knowledge and spiritual depth - is testimony to his outstanding ability as a spiritual initiate and profound thinker. Accessible, entertaining and stimulating, the records of these sessions will be a delight to anybody with an open mind.
