As human beings, we have a great longing for community, to feel
part of something. Despite this apparent need, the opposite
tendency is evident everywhere: a growing individualism leading to
the breakdown of relationships, conflict and war. How can we
connect meaningfully with our fellow human beings and build
successful communities, whilst also cultivating a healthy
individuality? Karl Koenig considered that finding answers to these
questions was one of the central tasks of anthroposophy, as well as
its greatest potential downfall. Seventy years ago, he founded the
Camphill Movement as a search for social renewal and healing from
new sources. As part of a growing dialogue between people within
and outside of Camphill, a conference called Community Building in
the Light of Michael took place at the Goetheanum in 2009. The
contributions in this book originate from there; contributors
include Cornelius Pietzner, Virginia Sease, Penelope
Roberts-Baring, Sergei Prokofieff, Peter Selg and Bodo von Plato.
The appearance of the first issue of The Tatler in 1709 is usually
regarded as the beginning of periodical publication in England. Its
founder, Richard Steele (1672-1729), intended 'a paper, which
should observe upon the manners of the pleasurable, as well as the
busy part of mankind ... by way of a letter of intelligence,
consisting of such parts as might gratify the curiosity of persons
of all conditions, and of each sex'. The 'datelines' of the
reports, on news, literature, and plain gossip, were from the most
famous coffee houses of early Georgian London, and the contributors
included Jonathan Swift and Joseph Addison. The magazine was
published for only two years, from April 1709 to January 1711:
shortly afterwards, Steele and Addison co-founded The Spectator.
This four-volume edition was issued in 1797 by a consortium of
publishers, including John Nichols. Volume 1 contains the first
fifty numbers.

Sir Richard Steele (1672 1729), soldier, courtier and dramatist, is
best remembered for his founding of two literary and political
periodicals, the Tatler and the Spectator (the latter jointly with
his friend Joseph Addison). These two volumes of his letters to
friends and family were compiled by the publisher John Nichols and
published in 1809. Nichols claims in his preface that these
letters, 'some of them evidently scribbled when their amiable
Author was probably not in the very best condition for penmanship',
are nonetheless of great interest, 'as they contain the private and
undisguised opinions of the man who took upon himself to be the
Censor of the age'. In Volume 1, many of the letters are addressed
to his second wife (both before and after their marriage), others
to Addison, Swift, and the duke of Marlborough. Fragments of two
unfinished plays by Steele, and one by Addison, are also included."

Karl Koenig meditated intensely on the 52 weekly verses of Rudolf
Steiner's Calendar of the Soul. He often encouraged his colleagues
to find inner strength from the verses, and wrote this book as a
guide for them, drawing out the patterns through the course of the
year. There are also some lecture notes and additional essays. This
book will be a useful and inspiring guide for anyone who wants to
fully understand and experience Steiner's Calendar. There is also a
separate complementary book, An Inner Journey Through the Year,
which contains Koenig's 52 colour sketches based on the Calendar of
the Soul.
Karl Konig, the founder of the Camphill Movement, was very aware of
the need for change in the social order he saw around him. In this
revealing collection of imaginative thought and ideas, he shows,
however, that true social change must begin in individuals. He goes
on to say that renewal is something all human beings can practise
themselves, in the midst of their everyday life.
'There can be no doubt that special traits of character and mental
make-up are found in children and adults who belong to the
different ranks in the order of birth.' In this classic work, Karl
Koenig attempts to explain the various characteristics of first-,
second- and third-born people, without losing sight of the
tremendous individuality of the human being. Just as our
environment shapes our language, social behaviour and mannerisms,
so our place in the family also determines how we encounter life.
This book is a fascinating handbook for parents, teachers and
carers. Over the years it has become a definitive reference on the
subject of child development. This newest edition in the Karl
Koenig Archive series includes a new introduction by series editor
Richard Steel; an extended introduction by Karl Koenig; two new
essays: 'The Two Sisters', and 'Brother and Sister' ; some of Karl
Koenig's lecture notes and transcriptions, and an essay by A.
Limbrunner about the significance of Koenig's work on family order
for today.
Kaspar Hauser was a young man who appeared on the streets of
Nuremberg in Germany in the early nineteenth century. His innocence
and mysterious background captured the hearts of many at the time.
2012 marks the 200th anniversary of Kaspar Hauser's birth. This
timely book draws together Karl Koenig's thoughts on the enigma of
Kaspar Hauser, as well as exploring Koenig's deep connection to the
young man. The book includes Koenig's essay 'The Story of Kaspar
Hauser', as well as essays from Peter Selg on 'Koenig, Wegman and
Kaspar Hauser' and Richard Steel on how Koenig spoke of Kaspar
Hauser in his diaries, notes and letters.
`From time to time in the history of humanity, extraordinary
individualities appear, carrying with them great tasks which are
difficult to assess. Through this lens, the events around Kaspar
Hauser (1812-1833) can be seen as signposts to one of the most
important mysteries of modern times, which will radiate far into
the future. Kaspar's appearance and the essence of his being are
deeply connected with the question of the identity of the human
being itself.' - From the Foreword. This book offers a unique,
creative approach to the mystery of Kaspar Hauser - the teenage boy
who was found abandoned on the streets of Nuremberg, barely able to
walk, speak or write. Introducing the subject with a historical
overview, Eckart Boehmer goes on to offer multiple artistic
approaches to comprehending the enigma of Kaspar Hauser's brief and
tragic life. He presents poems from his cycle I not human, I
Kaspar, a short story entitled `Crossing the Border', and a play
about Hauser's mentor, `Feuerbach or an Example of a Crime Against
the Human Consciousness Soul'. These are followed by transcripts of
two lectures held during the Kaspar Hauser Festival in New York,
which reflect on esoteric research carried out in the last twenty
years. The volume concludes with short meditations followed by an
interview with the author on his biographical connections to the
theme. Inspired by the Kaspar Hauser Festival in Ansbach and the
Kaspar Hauser Research Circle, this valuable book offers many
imaginative gems for deeper contemplation.
An essential leadership guide for engaging the modern, socially
responsible consumer. Consumers and investors have elevated their
game. They have innovated. And now, leaders must innovate with them
or face the consequences. In this engaging and persuasive guide to
a brave new world of conscious capitalism, business expert Richard
Steel details the inevitability of change in our profits-focused,
perpetual-growth capitalist model. Our world economy has become
increasingly values-driven, and consumers have begun to do the one
thing the capitalist engines of the last 150 years have always
feared: care. And not just about price, place, product, promotion,
and people. The new P of business-purpose-was born from a
dramatically informed, connected, and imperilled human race. With
an eye toward the future of corporate sustainability, Elevated
Economics provides leaders with: * crucial information on the rise
of Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance (ESG) *
informative, firsthand interviews with CEOs of successful
corporations who actively follow the ESG model * the increasingly
viable opportunities for Socially Responsible Investing (SRI)
Steele maintains that ESG is not simply a burgeoning trend, and
leaders must get on board or risk extinction
Karl Koenig meditated intensely on the 52 weekly verses of Rudolf
Steiner's Calendar of the Soul. During his time in internment on
the Isle of Man, he made these 52 naive, artistic sketches to
accompany each verse. This is a wonderful way to experience an
important spiritual tool. There is also a separate book by Karl
Koenig, The Calendar of the Soul, which is a complementary text
commentary on Steiner's Calendar.
