Reincarnation and Karma
Description
A contribution by Christiane Haid
Reincarnation and Karma in History and the Present
The lecture draws a wide arc around reincarnation and karma – from personal childhood experiences and enigmatic encounters, via Lessing, Goethe, Spiritualism and Theosophy, to transhumanism and technological immortality. In doing so, it shows why these questions are existential today, how they have shaped East and West, and what Rudolf Steiner radically rethinks about them.
A contribution by Christiane Haid to the study week “Reincarnation and Karma in the Work of Rudolf Steiner”.
