Produktbeschreibung
This book, one of Rudolf Steiner's most popular lecture courses, presents an extraordinary panorama of spiritual knowledge centering on the human being as a microcosm containing all the laws and secrets of the world. Steiner speaks about our inner relationship to three ancient and sacred representatives of the animal kingdom -- eagle, lion, and bull -- and to the forces of the cosmos that form them. He deepens these themes by approaching the plant and animal worlds in the context of planetary and cosmic evolution. Then he introduces us to the elemental nature spirits -- the metaphysical beings who work with plants and animals, giving a unique and intimate description of them and describing the cooperation they offer to humankind. Finally, the human being -- the "harmony of the Creative Word" -- is placed at the heart of this spiritual celebration of life.

Autorenporträt
Rudolf Steiner (b. Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner, 1861-1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe's scientific writings. Steiner termed his spiritual philosophy anthroposophy, meaning "wisdom of the human being." As an exceptionally developed seer, he based his work on direct knowledge and perception of spiritual dimensions. He initiated a modern, universal "spiritual science" that is accessible to anyone willing to exercise clear and unbiased thinking. From his spiritual investigations, Steiner provided suggestions for the renewal of numerous activities, including education (general and for special needs), agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy, Christianity, and the arts. There are currently thousands of schools, clinics, farms, and initiatives in other fields that involve practical work based on the principles Steiner developed. His many published works feature his research into the spiritual nature of human beings, the evolution of the world and humanity, and methods for personal development. He wrote some thirty books and delivered more than six thousand lectures throughout much of Europe. In 1924, Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches around the world.
