In a radical approach to understanding current affairs and history,
Rudolf Steiner presents a method of penetrating to the hidden
causes and realities that lie behind outer appearances.
Contemporary life cannot fully be understood by an analysis that is
restricted to external events, he says. Deeper levels of meaning
are revealed when one begins to view such events as symptoms. The
causes of these symptoms - the reality behind them - are to be
discovered on other levels of existence. Steiner demonstrates such
a 'symptomatological' approach in these lectures, surveying some of
the great developments in consciousness that have helped form the
world over the last centuries. He examines the role of true
socialism, the rise of nationalism, and characterises contrasting
approaches to religion by drawing a distinction between 'the People
of the Christ' in Russia, 'the People of the Church' in Central
Europe, and 'the People of the Lodges' in the West. Amongst the
wealth of material covered here, Rudolf Steiner discusses 'the
mystery of evil' and 'the mystery of death', the birth of the
consciousness soul, the significance of the scientific mode of
thought, the metaphysical element in the study of history, as well
as specific events such as the Russian Revolution and the
suppression of the Knights Templar. He also reviews the
circumstances surrounding the publication of new editions of his
books The Philosophy of Freedom and Goethe's World View. Anyone
seeking a more profound understanding of our times will find a firm
basis for a meaningful exploration in this course of lectures.
