The Social Future

Rudolf Steiner e.Lib Document

Lectures Section

As part of Steiner's intense activity in the social field in 1919, these lectures show that a healthy social organism depends on the separation of the three spheres of society: the cultural sphere including art, science, religion, and education; the legal-political sphere; and the economic sphere. This membering into three spheres will overcome the polarizing tendencies of modern life and make the economy the servant of society rather than its master.
