Brotherhood and the Struggle for Existence (#015)
by Rudolf Steiner
Berlin, November 23, 1905 (GA 54)

Over 20 years preceding the time of Hitler’s early public appearances, Rudolf Steiner was appealing to the German impulse for good in describing what brotherhood had achieved for human development.

Social and Anti-Social Forces (#034)
a lecture by Rudolf Steiner
Berne, December 12, 1918 (GA 186)
ISBN: 978-0-936132-43-3
The social impulse lulls us to sleep in relation to others, while the assertion of one’s individuality keeps us awake. What, then, is the anti-social force? There is a need for anti-social forces to work inwardly while social impulses find their expression in outer structures. Above all, the interest of one human being in another is the backbone of all social life.

Getting Old (#199)
Excerpts from Rudolf Steiner’s Complete Works
by Rudolf Steiner
Compilation and commentary
by Gisela Gaumnitz
Translated by Harold Jurgens

ISBN: 978-0-929979-65-6
Getting Old: Excerpts from Rudolf Steiner’s Complete Works provides a penetrating look at many rarely noticed inner and outer aspects of the aging process. Gisela Gaumnitz has searched far and wide in an effort to gather all of Steiner’s comments on this subject, and has organized them in accordance with meaningful thematic perspectives. Some 220 selections concerning old age, aging, the human and cosmic course of life, and the transformation of impressions from youth, are brought together here from over 100 volumes of Rudolf’s Steiner’s lectures. Aging affects us all. The fact that nearly every third volume of Rudolf Steiner’s complete works includes comments on aging shows how important he considered the topic. This volume will serve as a basis for a thorough exploration of life’s deep questions as well as a resource for studying numerous specific aspects of aging.

by Rudolf Steiner
Translated by Ruth Pusch

Arnheim, July 20, 1924 (GA217a)

Rudolf Steiner raises the social challenge for youth of our time: If this anthroposophical movement is sincere and if young people find it necessary to be honest, what is needed above all? Courage! Something one learns very fast or not at all. Real courage! The courage to say: the world as it is today must get a new foundation underneath it.

Health Care as a Social Issue (#030)
A lecture by Rudolf Steiner
Dornach, April 7, 1920 (GA 314)
ISBN: 978-0-936132-39-6
Ever since the Industrial Revolution gave us the division of labor, polarizing worker and manager, social institutions have had to negotiate the question of health care in new and systematized ways. Here Rudolf Steiner considers the relationship of health care to social life; physical and mental illness; waking and sleeping; the need for a new structure in the social order; and the mission of anthroposophical spiritual science.
