Lectures Section
In these lectures Rudolf Steiner demonstrates that there are
twelve main philosophical standpoints and that the fruitful progress in
philosophy depends not upon defending one and refuting the others
but in learning to experience the validity of them all. This not
only sharpens and makes more flexible our own powers of thinking,
but also overcomes a narrow-minded one-sidedness and promotes
tolerance and understanding of other people and their opinions.

but also overcomes a narrow-minded one-sidedness and promotes
tolerance and understanding of other people and their opinions.
