The Challenge of the Times: (Cw 186) - Paperback

by Rudolf Steiner (Author), Olin D. Wannamaker (Translator)

6 lectures, Dornach, November 29 - December 8, 1918 (CW 186)

In these lectures, given just days after the end of World War I, Steiner describes the new developments in mechanics, politics, and economy, as well as new capacities and methods in the West and the East. He reveals their fruitful potentials, but also the dangers of their abuse. He discusses social and antisocial instincts, specters of the Old Testament in the nationalism of the present, and the innate capacities of various nations.

This volume is a translation of Die soziale Grundforderung unserer Zeit (GA 186).
