Imitation – the capacity to learn and love from the prenatal realm
35 minPeter Selg
Rudolf Steiner as a spiritual teacher
Description
A contribution by Peter Selg
Peter Selg spans an arc from the current shortage of teachers and political radicalisation to a deep, spiritual appreciation of the teaching profession. Drawing on biblical texts, translations by Buber/Rosenzweig and Rudolf Steiner, and striking eyewitness accounts, he shows how true teaching creates freedom, proving oneself and a fundamental experience of being human – and why Steiner's living art of lecturing continues to fascinate to this day.
A contribution by Peter Selg to the Michaelmas Conference 2025 at the Goetheanum.
