The Spiritual Ground of Education

The Spiritual Ground of Education
9 lectures, Oxford, England, August 16â€“29, 1922 (CW 305)

These lectures follow from those presented in Soul Economy. Given during a conference on spiritual values in education and life and attended by many prominent people of the time, Steinerâ€™s Oxford lectures present the principles of Waldorf education at the highest cultural level. The Manchester Guardian reported:

â€œDr. Steinerâ€™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.â€

These lectures form one of the best introductions to Waldorf education.
