Publisher's Synopsis
The Threefold Commonwealth is a book written by Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher, and founder of anthroposophy. The book presents Steiner's ideas on social and political reform, proposing a threefold division of society into three distinct spheres: the cultural, the political, and the economic. Steiner argues that these three spheres should be autonomous and self-governing, with each having its own principles, values, and goals. The cultural sphere should focus on education, art, and spiritual life, while the political sphere should focus on creating and enforcing laws and regulations. The economic sphere should focus on producing goods and services, with the market regulating supply and demand.Steiner believes that the current system, where these three spheres are intertwined and controlled by the state, leads to imbalances and conflicts. He argues that a threefold division would create a more harmonious and sustainable society, where each sphere can develop and thrive independently while still working together for the common good.The Threefold Commonwealth is a thought-provoking book that challenges conventional ideas about politics and economics. It offers a unique perspective on how society can be restructured to create a more equitable and just world.1923.
