Publisher's Synopsis
"Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge
that would guide the spiritual in the human
being to the spiritual in the universe."
This newly revised special edition of the Leading Thoughts, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Rudolf Steiner's death (March 30, 2025), marks the first ever bilingual (German-English) publication of his final written work, which he largely composed in the last months of his life (October 1, 1924-March 30, 1925). The Leading Thoughts and the essays that introduce them form the culmination of Steiner's endeavors to communicate the essence of anthroposophical spiritual science. They deal with the dawn of the Consciousness Soul Age, with Michael's battle with Ahriman for human intelligence, with the forces of Christ and Anti-Christ, with the future of the Earth and humanity.
As his last written testament, this volume stands as a bulwark against the dehumanizing forces of modern civilization and as a call to all who would look earnestly at the state of our world and choose, in freedom, to seek a human way forward.
