Synopsis
9 lectures, various cities, February 23, 1921-September 16, 1922 (CW 304)
This is the first of two previously untranslated volumes of Steiner's public lectures on Waldorf education. Readers familiar with Steiner's lectures for teachers will discover here how Steiner presented his ideas to the general public with surprising directness. Teaching, Steiner says, should be artistic, creative, and improvisational, not dogmatic. Yet he is clear that the great battle concerns the spiritual nature of the child. Other themes include understanding the role of health and illness in education, as well as repeated expositions of the three major phases in child development: imitation, authority, and freedom. There are also two lectures Steiner gave in England on Shakespeare and new ideals in education. Topics include:- Spiritual Science and the Great Questions of our Present Civilization
- Education and Practical Life from the Perspective of Spiritual Science
- Knowledge of Health and Illness in Education
- The Fundamentals of Waldorf Education
- Educational Methods Based on Anthroposophy
- Education and Drama
- Shakespeare and the New Ideals

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.
René M. Querido, LLD, was a seminal figure in Waldorf education for a half century. He was educated in Holland, Belgium, France, and England and studied mathematics and physics at London University. Mr. Querido lectured throughout the world on historical and educational topics and was director of Rudolf Steiner College (Fair Oaks, California). He was also Secretary of the Anthroposophical Society in America.

He does so with surprising directness. In the first lecture he enters without warning into a discussion of the Guardian of the Threshold ~ the spiritual being who separates ordinary consciousness from spiritual consciousness. The task of spiritual science, he claims, is to overcome the reductionist premises of modern culture and help humanity cross the threshold into the supersensible by conscious means. He argues that such understanding is necessary if we are to meet the pedagogical needs of our times. This is not to say that spiritual science dismisses modern science. Rather, the anthroposophical approach allows a child to be understood in its wholeness as a being of body, soul, and spirit. Also striking is the openness of Steiner's presentations. He quotes Goethe's saying, "Consider the what, but pay even more attention to the how." Teaching should be artistic, creative, improvisational. Yet, it is clear that the great battle concerns the spiritual nature of the child. Teachers must discover the element of "unbornness" in their children. They must form a relationship with what human beings experience in the spiritual world before birth. / By the time of the second collection of Rudolf Steiner's public lectures on Waldorf education, the situation in which Steiner sought to present his ideas had changed~he had achieved considerable prominence, his lectures were regularly reported in the press, and the Waldorf school movement was gaining increasing recognition. The cosmopolitan background of these lectures emphasizes the universal nature of an education based on the understanding of the human being as an evolving being of body, soul, and spirit. It is clear, too, from the range of topics covered~education and art, education and the moral life~that Waldorf is a world cultural, not a local, phenomenon. In this collection, Steiner is outspoken with regard to the spiritual nature of human beings and the world, including the spiritual nature of Waldorf education. Read with an understanding of the contexts in which they were given, these lectures deepen and amplify our understanding or the mission and purpose of Waldorf education in remarkable ways.
