We are honored to present to the reader this seminal volume, a work of profound historical and spiritual significance
within the corpus of Rudolf Steiner's teachings. This collection preserves the complete series of lectures delivered during a pivotal moment in the history of the Anthroposophical movement: the opening of the celebrated "French Course" at the Goetheanum in Dornach. Commencing in the early autumn of September 1922, these lectures were not merely academic discourses; they represented a courageous effort to build cultural and spiritual bridges across a fractured Europe, inviting
an international audience to engage with the deepest riddles of existence.
