"After Rudolf Steiner had left us in the body, the gifts of the
spirit that were offered by him in such overflowing measure could
not continue. It must now happen that a community of human beings
takes over the results of his spiritual research, takes them in
such a way that they remain alive in the community. People must
come together in anthroposophic work, united in such a way that
Anthroposophy comes into its own." -Carl Unger (lecture in
Stuttgart, Oct. 29, 1928) This volume provides perhaps the most
comprehensive and profound exegesis of Rudolf Steiner's
Anthroposophy, especially his book titled Anthroposophical Leading
Thoughts. That book provides Steiner's final and most complete
explanation of his Spiritual Science through brief, aphoristic
thoughts, or meditations, on the profound esoteric meaning of the
modern spiritual path he called Anthroposophy. In The Language of
the Consciousness Soul, Carl Unger unfolds and expands Rudolf
Steiner's "leading thoughts" to help the reader comprehend the
deeper meaning behind the words. Carl Unger lets us see how Rudolf
Steiner created a mandala-like image of Anthroposophy, revealing an
ever-expanding cosmology and epistemology that goes far beyond mere
philosophy or a belief system to a practical path of spiritual
investigation and knowledge for modern humankind. Rudolf Steiner
had this to say about Carl Unger: Dr. Carl Unger, for many years
past, has always been the most industrious and devoted collaborator
in the anthroposophic movement.... At an early date, Dr. Unger saw
that Anthroposophy, before all, needs a strong foundation of the
theory of knowledge. With a deep understanding he took up what I
myself, many years ago, was able to give in my books Goethe's
Theory of Knowledge, Truth and Knowledge, and Intuitive Thinking as
a Spiritual Path: A Philosophy of Freedom, he developed
independently what I had intimated. Supported by mental
discernment, his goal was to see through the nature of the human
process of knowledge in a clear analysis, and from that to form its
true picture. Unger is not dialectical but an observer of empirical
facts. This is why, through the years, he has been able to give
results of the highest value, showing how the process of knowledge
in ordinary consciousness produces, always and everywhere, out of
itself, the impulses to anthroposophic investigation. Moreover,
Unger's method of thinking, trained through technical problems, is
free from subjective vagueness, and thus his scientific
collaboration in Anthroposophy is the most important that we can
have. The Language of the Consciousness Soul is an indispensable
guidebook for group study and for individuals who wish to penetrate
the depths of Anthroposophy and apply its principles both inwardly
and to outer daily life. This volume is a translation by Effie
Grace Wilson of Aus der Sprache der Bewusstseinsseele: Unter
Zugrundelegung der Leitsatze Rudolf Steiners.
