GA 79

The Reality of the Higher Worlds. Introduction to Anthroposophy

Die Wirklichkeit der höheren Welten - Einführung in die Anthroposophie

Eight lectures, Kristiania (Oslo) 25 November to 2 December 1921.

In these lectures, given at the invitation of various public associations, Rudolf Steiner presented the most important foundations of anthroposophically oriented spiritual science without any presuppositions. Thus these lectures can indeed be regarded as an "introduction to anthroposophy" and provide an answer to the question: What is anthroposophical spiritual science and what knowledge about the human being and the great questions of our time can it give us?
