== The Fundamental Spiritual Forces in the Art of Education. Spiritual Values in Education and Social Life ==
=== Die geistig-seelischen Grundkräfte der Erziehungskunst. Spirituelle Werte in Erziehung und sozialem Leben ===

Twelve lectures, Oxford 16 to 29 August 1922, with a special lecture, two introductory addresses to eurythmy performances and a conclusion. In the English edition only the 9 lectures in Oxford are included.

These lectures follow from those presented in [[Soul Economy]] ([[GA 303|CW 303]]). Given during a conference on spiritual values in education and life and attended by many prominent people of the time, Steiner's Oxford lectures present the principles of Waldorf education at the highest cultural level.

The ''[[w:The Guardian|Manchester Guardian]]'' reported: "Dr. Steiner's lectures ... brought to us in a very vivid way an ideal of humanity in education. He spoke to us about teachers who, freely and unitedly, unrestricted by external prescription, develop their educational methods exclusively out of a thorough knowledge of human nature. He spoke to us about a kind of knowledge needed by the teacher, a knowledge of the being of man and the world, which is at the same time scientific and also penetrates into the most intimate inner life, which is intuitive and artistic."

=== Contents ===

Starting from the question of the spiritual foundations of education, [[Rudolf Steiner]] deals here with the resulting tasks of the educator, including many examples from the lessons of the [[Waldorf school]] in Stuttgart, which had been in existence for three years at that time. In three lectures on "[[The Social Question]]", which follow on from the pedagogical ones, points of view are presented for the realisation of social tasks in the sense of the "[[Threefolding of the Social Organism]]".
