Die soziale Grundforderung unserer Zeit – In geänderter Zeitlage
Twelve lectures, Dornach 29 November to 21 December 1918 (cycles 51 and 52) and Berne 12 December 1918
Although held soon after the end of the First World War, these lectures are of undiminished topicality with regard to today's European situation, as they shed light on fundamental questions concerning East and West, the predispositions of nations and social problems.
