• Title: Foundation Course: Lecture 1: The Relationship of Anthroposophy to Religious Life

  • Today we basically all have an education inculcated in us, derived from modern science, this science which actually only started in the middle of the 15th Century but which has entered into all forms of modern people’s thinking. One basically can’t be different because one has been educated this way from the lowest primary classes, by forming thoughts according to modern science. This has resulted in theology of the 19th Century wanting to orientate itself according to the research of modern science. I’d like to say they feel themselves responsible for the judge’s chair of modern science and as a result have become what they are today. One can only find a basis of true religiosity today by, at the same time, considering the entire authorisation and also the complete meaning of the scientific element of life.
• Title: Foundation Course: Lecture 3: Theoretical Thinking and Living in the Spirit.

  • My dear friends, if with your deepest insight you want to look at what such a point of view has caused for the doom of the human soul, starting in the lowest classes in school, then in order to do what needs to be done today, you must search much deeper than is normally done. You can’t get stuck half way and say: We must withdraw religious content from the general view of the world, we must have our own religious certainty and beside it, science may exist. — For then, at most, man’s moral-religious view of the world will help him return to the bosom of the blessed Roman Catholic Church to numb himself if he still comes under such an anaesthetic.
• Title: Foundation Course: Lecture 5: Conceptual Knowledge and Observational Knowledge.

  • All of this creates an entire sea of difficulties which current mankind is not aware of at all because people have really been absorbing it from the lowest grade of elementary school; mankind really doesn’t know on what fragile ground, on what slippery ice he gets involved with, in reality, when educated through the current system of concepts. This conceptual system which is in fact more corrupt than theological concepts — a physicist often has no inkling that their concepts are corrupt — this is something which not only kills belief, but in many ways, it also kills what relates to life. These corrupt scientific concepts are not only damaging to the soul, but even harmful to physical life. If you are a teacher, you know this.
