These five lectures on Waldorf education were given as a course
during Easter week in Bern in 1924. Although they were delivered
more than seventy years ago, they are remarkably contemporary.
Every word still resonates with passion and dedication to the human
adventure. "We must develop an art of education that can lead us
out of the social chaos into which we have fallen during the last
few years and decades. . . . there is no escaping this chaos unless
we can find a way to bring spirituality into human souls through
education, so that human beings may find a way to progress and to
further the evolution of civilization out of the spirit itself."
When he gave these lectures, Rudolf Steiner had only eleven months
left to live. The first Waldorf School had been founded five years
before and the intervening period had seen Steiner active in every
aspect of school life. Now, in a sense, it was time to bring the
ripe fruit of this work before the public. Together with its
companion course The Essentials of Education (given three days
before), The Roots of Education provides a stimulating synthesis of
the Waldorf approach. Teachers, parents, and anyone interested in
education will find here the fundamental characteristics of the
process of a new art of education.
