The
following lectures were given by Rudolf Steiner to audiences familiar
with the general background of his anthroposophical teachings. He
constantly emphasized the distinction between his written works and
reports of lectures which were given as oral communications and were
not originally intended for print. It should also be remembered that
certain premises were taken for granted when the words were spoken.
‘These premises,’ Rudolf Steiner writes in his autobiography,
‘include at the very least the anthroposophical knowledge of Man and
of the Cosmos in its spiritual essence; also of what may be called
“anthroposophical history,” told as an outcome of research into the
spiritual world.’
