The Answers of Spiritual Science to the Big Questions of Existence

This is a First Edition English translation of volume 60 of Rudolf Steiner's Complete Work, original title: Antworten der Geisteswissenschaft auf den Großen Fragen des Daseins. This lecture series is also known as: Spiritual Science's Answer to the Large Questions of the Present Time. Some of these lectures have never been translated to English, and this Complete lecture series has not been published in English before.

The Human Soul and the Animal Soul; The Human Spirit and the Animal Spirit

This is the 3rd and 4th of 15 lectures given by Rudolf Steiner at Berlin, in November, 1910. The title of the series of lectures is: Spiritual Science's Answer to the Large Questions of the Present Time. They were published in German as: Antworten der Geisteswissenschaft Auf Den Grossen Fragen des Daseins. The lecture was transcribed from a typescript version, and the translators are D. S. Osmond and V. E. Watkin.

Turning Points Spiritual History

Rudolf Steiner gave the six lectures in this volume between January 1911 and January 1912. Soon after Steiner's death in 1925, Marie Steiner — realizing the importance of those lectures for understanding the evolution of consciousness and the central role of the Christ event in that process — collected them under the title, Turning Points in Spiritual History. In these lectures, Steiner provides us with astonishing views of esoteric history and shows the remarkable ways in which the spiritual world guided and nurtured the spiritual evolution in preparation for the Christ's appearance on Earth.

The Secrets of Sleep

This lecture is the fifth of fifteen lectures in the leture series: Spiritual Science's Answer to the Large Questions of the Present Time, published in German as, Antworten der Geisteswissenschaft auf den Grossen Fragen des Daseins. They were given by Rudolf Steiner at Berlin in the latter part of 1910, and the early part of 1911.
