Warmth Course

Geisteswissenschaftliche Impulse zur Entwickelung der Physik II

Second Natural Science Course: Warmth on the Boundary of Positive and Negative Materiality. Fourteen lectures, Stuttgart 1 to 14 March 1920

The two scientific courses came about at the request of the teachers' college of the Stuttgart Waldorf School, which had been founded only a few months earlier. Only a small number of participants attended the lectures, the teachers of the school as well as some scientifically educated and interested personalities from the Anthroposophical Society. In view of this situation, Rudolf Steiner's main concern was to present fundamental scientific points of view in order to stimulate further research, and not to present a new physics.

Contents

Rudolf Steiner discusses the nature of warmth, its relationship to the four states of matter, to light, to color, and to the sub-earthly and super-earthly realms. He strives to extend modern ideas of physics through the understandings achieved by spiritual science. With extensive notes and diagrams, this work comprises essential reference material for teachers of the natural sciences, as well as interested parents and others.
