Descriere Universe, Earth, Human Being: Their Relationship to Egyptian Myths and Modern Civilization (Cw 105) - Rudolf Steiner

\n11 lectures, Stuttgart, August 1908 (CW 105)\n The mission of our age is not to reproduce an ancient wisdom, but to engender a new one--a wisdom that points not only to the past but that works prophetically into the future. -- Rudolf Steiner \nBeginning with ancient Egypt, the pyramids, and sphinxes--and a comparison of that time with our own--Rudolf Steiner surveys the vast spiritual landscape of human development. In symphonic style, he describes the conquest of the physical plane in post-Atlantean civilizations; the interrelationships of various cultural epochs; human connections with the kingdoms of nature and planetary bodies; and the relationship between animal forms and the physiognomy of human passions. Through this panoramic vision, we discover how the changed conditions of human consciousness call for a new spiritual understanding today.\n \nIn her Introduction, Marie Steiner describes the experience of being in the audience for this timeless series of lectures: \n Enormous cosmic pictures were unfolded before the spiritual gaze of the listeners; insights were of such depths of ancient wisdom, views of distant futures of human and world development, that deepest devotion flowed through their hearts. \nThis new edition features a revised translation, introduction, notes and an index.\n \nUniverse, Earth, Human Being is a translation from German of Welt, Erde, Mensch, deren Wesen und Entwickelung sowie ihre Spiegelung in dem Zusammenhang zwischen ägyptischem Mythol und gegenwärtiger Kultur (GA 105). A previous edition was titled Universe, Earth, and Man (1987).\n
