Theosophy & Anthroposophy

Series: The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner

The constitution of the human soul has undergone a profound transformation in recent centuries. With the rise of ‘I’-consciousness, individuality and intellectual thought have moved to the foreground, opening a path toward freedom and self-determination. Yet this gain has come with a loss: the vivid, instinctive spiritual perception of earlier epochs has faded. In this unique series of lecture, Rudolf Steiner traces this decisive shift in consciousness and situates it within a wide panorama of world history.

Central to our time is the question of Christ’s continuing presence. Steiner follows the changing perception of Christ, from early Gnosis through the formation of Church doctrine to the modern age, indicating a renewed mode of spiritual perception – Imagination – through which Christ may again be experienced as a living reality. This reappearance, not in physical form but within the etheric realm, marks a decisive threshold for contemporary humanity.

Through a ‘symptomatic’ reading of events, Steiner explores the distinct spiritual missions of East, West and Central Europe, illuminating their contrasting modes of thought, social life and cultural inheritance. Platonism and Aristotelianism, economy and jurisprudence, spirituality and civic life emerge as interwoven streams shaping humanity’s present crisis and future task. With reflections on Goethe, Schiller and the threefold social principle, these lectures articulate a form of spirituality suited to modern consciousness – one that honours human freedom while awakening new faculties of perception.

This revised edition features an introduction by Richard Ramsbotham.

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) called his spiritual philosophy “anthroposophy”, meaning “wisdom of the human being”. As a highly developed seer, he based his work on direct knowledge and perception of spiritual dimensions. He initiated a modern and universal “science of spirit”, accessible to anyone willing to exercise clear and unprejudiced thinking. From his spiritual investigations Steiner provided suggestions for the renewal of many activities, including education (both general and special), agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy, religion and the arts. Today there are thousands of schools, clinics, farms and other organizations involved in practical work based on his principles. His many published works feature his research into the spiritual nature of the human being, the evolution of the world and humanity, and methods of personal development. Steiner wrote some 30 books and delivered over 6000 lectures across Europe. In 1924 he founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world.
