Written in 1925 (CW 27) In this classic introductory work on
spiritual medicine, Rudolf Steiner worked in a unique literary
collaboration with the physician Ita Wegman. Their aim was to
revitalize the art of healing through spiritual knowledge--yet in
so doing they did not underrate or dismiss modern allopathic
medicine; rather, they illumined ordinary medicine beyond its
materialistic outlook to a fuller realization of the human
condition. As Ita Wegman wrote in her preface: "The aim was not to
underestimate scientific medicine in an amateurish way; it was
given full recognition. But it was important to add to existing
knowledge the insights that can come from true perception of the
spirit, enabling us to understand the processes of illness and
healing." Today this new extension of practical medicine--generally
called "anthroposophical medicine"--is used and valued by many
physicians in numerous clinics around the world. Contents: Foreword
