The karma of untruthfulness - Considerations on the current historical period Vol. II - Rudolf Steiner

Dettagli

Nine conferences held in Dornach from 24 December 1916 to 8 January 1917. Starting from the historical and political situation that was created in Europe during the First World War, Rudolf Steiner goes back to the most distant and occult causes. In this way it offers us the methodological tools to observe historical events and the evolutionary condition of humanity. The “Historical Considerations” are not “political” conferences, but have the intent to create bases for judgement.
«In serious times it is really necessary to turn to the truth, to connect to the truth. In fact, if we don't want to recognize it, we move away from what is truly healthy for humanity. These days serious words are said because we are truly in a situation that even a blind person perceives, hearing the cry for peace. And anyone who can believe that we are fighting for lasting peace, shouting calls for peace, may also have sound judgment in other areas of life, but cannot have a clear mind regarding these events. And if in the face of all this you don't feel the duty to tell the truth, then things in the world can really get much, much worse.
Translator Laura Vanelli

AUTHOR

Rudolf Steiner

Rudolf Steiner was an Austrian philosopher, architect and reformist. He was the founder of anthroposophy, an esoteric current that mixes various dictates of the theosophical and German philosophical-idealist schools of the time. From the early years of his cultural education, Steiner aspired to find the perfect synthesis between mysticism and science.

This continuous research led him, after obtaining his doctorate, to move from Vienna to Weimar to work at the Goethe und Schiller Archiv, the Goethe archive. This work allowed him to publish the essay "Introduction to Goethe's Scientific Writings" and to develop his personal vision of the world.

In 1894, he published his most important essay, "The Philosophy of Freedom", which proposed a revolutionary concept for the time: the discovery that thought can lead to the realization of the spirit of the world.

The tome did not achieve much success but Steiner had created a solid foundation for the knowledge of the spirit, and he felt able to carry out his research in this field without any hesitation. Furthermore, the work on "The Philosophy of Freedom" allowed him to solve a series of enigmas about existence that had persecuted him for some time.

The insights contained in "The Philosophy of Freedom" are the basis of Steiner's legacy and have contributed essentially to the development of modern sciences. In particular of Medicine. In fact, Steiner was responsible for the Waldorf school movement, which created an educational approach based on understanding and love.

Today, Waldorf schools are all over the world.
