Het laatste gesprek erover vond tien dagen voor zijn dood plaats. Bernard Lievegoed beschouwde dit boek als zijn afscheid en sprak meerdere malen van zijn ‘geestelijk testament’. In ons laatste gesprek vroeg hij mij een voorwoord te schrijven over de omstandigheden waaronder het is ontstaan. Naar zijn mening moest de lezer daarvan op de hoogte zijn om zich een goed oordeel te kunnnen vormen. Graag voldoe ik aan dit verzoek. Met het thema van dit boek heeft Bernard Lievegoed, zoals hij het in het eerste hoofdstuk vertelt, meer dan zestig jaar geworsteld. Het betreft dringende vragen over de innerlijke en spirituele achtergronden van de antroposofische bweging in de wereld. Lange tijd bleven die vragen onbeantwoord; na een ingrijpende operatie 7 kreeg hij echter eindelijk antwoord. Zijn vreugde daarover was groot en hij zette vervolgens alles op alles om dat antwoord op schrift te stellen.

  • Globalization, Post-Materialism and Threefolding
    id43049218 pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com GLOBALIZATION, POST-MATERIALISM AND THREEFOLDING http://www.cadi.ph/Features/Feature_11_Post_Mat.htm 07/26/2007 GLOBALIZATION, POST-MATERIALISM AND THREEFOLDING[1] By Nicanor Perlas[2] Abstract The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and the Battle of Genoa in July 2001 in Italy captures the present power configuration of the world. Three worldviews are struggling for control over the future of the planet. These three worldviews are characterized and labeled, broadly, as Jihad, McWorld, and Civitas. McWorld is the world of the dominant materialistic modernity that governs the world. Jihad is the fundamentalist response of tradition, not just Islam, to McWorld. The world of Civitas is the world of post-materialism seeking a more spiritual approach, different from McWorld and Jihad, to world challenges. An elite form of globalization associated with McWorld has taken over the planet with disastrous consequences. This elite form of globalization is forcing humanity to ask fundamental questions about the nature and meaning of ’s relationship with it. human existence, about societies and civilizations, and about the nature of nature and humanity The questions of McWorld cannot be answered from the consciousness of McWorld nor Jihad. It requires a post-material consciousness, perspective and action to address the problems spawned by elite globalization today. Fortunately, there is a massive awakening throughout the world today in connection with a more spiritual approach and response to the challenge of McWorld. Ronald Inglehart documents the broad contours of this new awakening.

In other words, ac- cording to Steiner, the ways in which a farmer tends his/her plants and animals in relation to planetary phases and movements, and his/her treatment of spiritual creatures, all influence physi- cal properties of the earth and therefore the functioning of his/her farm (Steiner, 1993).

  • Chapter 1 Waldorf Teacher Education
    Chapter 1 Waldorf Teacher Education: Methodology of the Study Section 1 Introduction 1. Background information The primary focus of most of the literature on Steiner or Waldorf Education ~ whether couched in ways variously intending to theorise, compare, inform, expound, or extol ~ has been on the question of how children (whether of early childhood, primary or high school years) should be educated. The main aim of this thesis is to explore the question of how Waldorf teachers should be educated. In order to begin to tackle this seemingly straightforward question it seemed logical to begin at the beginning, that is, with the theory underlying what Waldorf teachers were being educated for. Steiner’s educational theory is explicit in maintaining that education is about facilitating the process of becoming more human. But aren’t we human enough already? What does it mean to become more human? How are human beings (for so long referred to as ‘Man’) constituted? What is ‘Man’? In some ways the trend of the questioning is reminiscent of, and inevitably leads to, the Classical Greek injunction “O Man. Know Thyself”1. It was in contemplating these questions that the realisation came of what the underlying core of the thesis would be. Something had to be said about what Steiner believed the human being to be, and therefore how the education of the human being should proceed. More specifically still, how the teachers who were to implement the 1 This injunction was engraved above the portal of the temple of Apollo at Delphi. 2 educational ideas would themselves be educated.
