Human Questions and Cosmic Answers

Editorial Note

These lectures were given by Rudolf Steiner to an audience which was familiar with the main features of his anthroposophical teaching, and they presume such a background of knowledge. It is therefore inevitable that anyone unfamiliar with this background may find some statements difficult at first reading. If he will read on he will often find the obscurity cleared. Moreover, if he will admit the difficult concept into his mind, and dwell quietly upon it in its context, without either rejecting or accepting it, it will often bring its own conviction. A list of publications is contained at the end of this volume, any of which will help to supply a knowledge of the fundamental principles of Anthroposophy and are of particular interest in connection with the four lectures printed here.
