Cosmosophy (Vol. 2) Cosmic Influences on the Human Being

11 lectures, Dornach, October 21 – November 13, 1921 (CW 208)

The modern, materialistic worldview is a product of fear and anxiety. This fer lives on in the outer actions of human beings, in the social structure, in the course of history…. Why did people become materialists; why would they admit only the outer, that which is given in the material existence? Because they were afraid to descend into the depths of the human being. —Rudolf Steiner

With these words Steiner describes the relationship between inner and outer realities. In a sense deeper than normally recognized, the mind-body split is the result of a fear to penetrate the mind—the inner human being. This lack of inner courage rebounds on society and civilization, producing the terrible conditions modern humanity finds itself surrounded by. And real healing will not come until we can summon the courage to penetrate the hidden inner mysteries.

These themes and many more are explored in these insightful lectures.

About the Author

Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up (see right). As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe’s scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical principles into an approach to systematic research into psychological and spiritual phenomena. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy, spiritual research, and findings. The influence of Steiner’s multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs, threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.
