Knowledge of the Soul and Spirit

This is a First Edition English translation of volume 56 of Rudolf Steiner's Complete Work, original title: Die Erkenntnis der Seele und des Geistes. This lecture series is also known as: Perception of the Soul and of the Spirit. These twelve of the fifteen lectures have never been translated to English, and this lecture series has not been published in English before.

Illusory Illness and the Feverish Pursuit of Health

Two of fifteen lectures given by Rudolf Steiner in 1907 and 1908 at Munich and Berlin. These two lectures, numbers 5 and 6 in the series, are from the lecture series entitled, Perception of the Soul and of the Spirit, published in German as, Die Erkenntnis der Seele und des Geistes. The first of these lectures is also known as, How to Avoid Psychomatic Illness, and the second as, Keeping Physical Health.

Man and Woman in Light of Spiritual Science

In this Lecture, Rudolf Steiner reminds us to look beyond immediately sense-perceptible definitions of man and woman to the levels of polarity which are at work within these outer “garments,” to look behind our male and female physical bodies for the interacting of masculine and feminine elements within the whole human being. A public lecture delivered in Munich, Germany, on March 18th, 1908. Lecture 11 of 15 from the lecture series: Perception of the Soul and of the Spirit. Published in German as: Die Erkenntnis der Seele und des Geistes. Published in The Anthroposophical Review, Vol. 2 No. 1 (1980).
