THE
PHILOSOPHY OF FREEDOM
Revised translation of
Steiner's groundbreaking philosophical
work on the nature of freedom and thinking. The Philosophy of Freedom
demonstrates
the fact of freedom -- the ability to think and act independently -- as
a possibility for modern consciousness. Read properly, it leads the
reader
to the experience of presence or living thinking -- new thinking -- by
which all human activity may be renewed. This offering is a translation
based on the 12th German edition. GA 4
BASIC
ISSUES of the SOCIAL QUESTION
This book was written in
1919, just after the First
World War, and suggests solutions to the social, political and economic
problems of those times. At the end of the book, Steiner writes: "...
either
people will accommodate their thinking to the requirements of reality,
or they will have learned nothing from the calamity and will cause
innumerable
new ones to occur in the future." History since then has proven these
words
to be prophetic. The "social question" has not been resolved, nor have
steps been taken to initiate the healing process. We all too often look
to the political state for the solutions to all social problems, be
they
of an economic, cultural or political nature. Steiner's
concept of a tripartite,
or threefold society in which the economic, cultural and political
spheres
would enjoy relative autonomy within the social organism has not yet
been
tried. This book contains his basic ideas for the restructuring of
society.
