Lectures and Writings by Rudolf Steiner
Steiner’s writings can be a bit…heady. Remember he was a man and writer of his time (early 20th Century). If you can get past some of the antiquated literary stylings, and you can focus on his ideas and insights, these essays and lectures may be of great interest to you. For more modern interpretations and work related to Steiner’s ideas and Waldorf values, check out the books, websites, and blogs featured elsewhere on this page. As with our featured books, while these lectures and essays are available at SteinerBooks.org or Amazon.com, we invite you to special order them from your local bookseller (or one of ours: Old Firehouse Books, Anthology Book Company).
- “The Essentials of Education“
- “The Foundations of Human Experience“
- “Soul Economy and Waldorf Education“
- “The Spiritual Guidance of the Individual and Humanity“
- “What is Anthroposophy?”
Books
While many of these books can be sourced via Amazon.com or SteinerBooks.org, we invite you to borrow them from your local library (or ours) or purchase them through your local bookseller (or one of ours: Old Firehouse Books, Anthology Book Company).
