The Roots of Education

We must develop an art of education that will lead us out of our present social chaos. By bringing spirituality into human souls through education, humanity can find a way, through the spirit itself, to further the evolution of civilization. These lectures offer deep insight into the mystery of soul and spiritual forces in a child's development. They describe the metamorphoses of the child's being as these forces unfold, and explain how teaching should relate to these fundamental changes. Such an education prepares the child to become a citizen of both the earth and the spiritual world. Only through recognizing our spiritual citizenship can we become truly social beings on earth and fully creative in the building of new worlds. From the Foundations of Waldorf Education series.
