Rudolf Steiner

Anthroposophy, Its Tasks and Goals Rudolf Steiner

This is an extremely important lecture, but - strangely - it seems to have remained out-of-print since the 'thirties in German, and to my knowledge it never has been translated. Perhaps this is because there are a few breaks in the transcription. But certainly these do not detract from the lecture as a whole, which is probably the place where Steiner most forcefully makes the case for reasoned, anthroposophical study in place of the pursuit of clairvoyance. Steiner's point is that it is a thousand time better to study anthroposophy rationally, and wait for illumination, then to pursue clairvoyance without study. Since the text is now exceedingly rare, I have appended the original German as well.
