Sketch of Rudolf Steiner lecturing at the East-West Conference in Vienna.



The World of the Senses and the World of the Spirit

On-line since: 25th June 2004


By Rudolf Steiner

GA 134

Six Lectures given at Hanover, 27th December 1911 – 1st January 1912. Authorised translation from a shorthand report unrevised by the Lecturer. Published in German as: Die Welt der Sinne und Die Welt Des Giestes.

Steiner gives extraordinary details of how the physical senses are in decline and how the spiritual senses are in their beginning. He shows the relationship of the hierarchies and Lucifer to these processes of decline and up-building. These lectures make an important contribution to a real understanding of world evolution.

The translator of this edition of lectures is unknown. It is presented here with the kind permission of the Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland. From GA# 134.
