Theosophy

Więcej o książce

Many consider this to be an unanswerable question, a futile exercise in speculation for philosophers. Yet all human beings must concern themselves to some degree with this question-if only to have a reason to go on living. In this book Rudolf Steiner not only reports from his unique research real, factual answers for life's "ultimate questions," but leads the reader far beyond such initial reflections. Steiner investigates the supersensible or spiritual regions of the world with a rigorously scientific approach. Instructions in the beginning steps of this approach are given here, as well as clear depictions of the supersensible nature of the human being; the workings of destiny (karma), reincarnation, and life after death; and the several divisions in the spiritual world. Through this, the basic concept and terms of Steiner's anthroposophy are introduced Unlike usual books, this one requires the reader's active inner participation to be complete. "This book cannot be-read in the customary manner of the present day. In certain respects every page, and even many sentences, will have to be worked out by the reader... its truths must be experienced, lived." Book jacket.
