The remarkable discussions in this volume took place between Rudolf Steiner and workers at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland, who chose the varied subject matter. The astonishing nature of his responses the questions—their insight, knowledge, and spiritual depth—is testimony to his outstanding ability as a spiritual initiate and teacher. Accessible and stimulating, the records of these sessions are both entertaining and profound.
