Following a lecture of November 27, 1919, requested by the Basel
Department of Education, sixty members of the audience invited
Rudolf Steiner to return and deliver a complete lecture course on
his approach to education. These lectures are the result.
Rudolf Steiner begins by outlining the gradual development of
the child with the help of spiritual forces and enlightened
educational practices, which form the basis for Steiner's approach
to education. He describes the problems that modern educators face
and provides practical solutions. Steiner explains the effects of
morality on real freedom and how the development of a child's will
leads to a free, flexible ability to think. He describes the
lifelong effects that teachers have on children through the ways
they teach in the early grades.
The subjects of these lectures cover a broad range, from the
threefold nature of the human being to the teacher's responsibility
toward their students' future; from arts such as music and eurythmy
to the problems involved in training teachers; from zoology and
botany to language, geography, and history.
Like many of Steiner's lectures to public audiences, these are
accessible and practical and provide a real overview to his ideas
for renewing modern education.
