Synopsis

This is another cycle of lively, impromptu question-and-answer periods Steiner had with the workers of the second Goetheanum. He begins with an imaginative description of the creation of the world and of human beings. The way he portrays this to the workmen is a lively addition to his other descriptions of this event in, for instance, Outline of Occult Science. He goes on to consider a wide range of questions about Chinese culture; nutrition; the sense of smell; planetary influences on animals, plants, and stones; weather and its causes; and more. These talks are among the last he was able to give before his illness put a stop to his lecturing and travel.
