Toward Imagination
Culture and the Individual
Given in 1916, when Europe was in the throes of World War I, these seven lectures present Rudolf Steiner�s trenchant analysis of the malaise of our time. With wit and compassion, he vividly confronts us with the dead end to which materialism has brought modern civilization. Starting with a new look at the festival of Pentecost, Steiner shows how the chaos of his time�and ours�can be transcended by a shift or transformation of consciousness. Ranging over a wide variety of topics, he moves from a description of balance in life to a discussion of the twelve senses and their relationship to the cosmos, psychology, and art. In the process, he reveals the central importance of the development of Imagination. 7 lectures, Berlin, June 6-July 18, 1916 (GA 169)
