Why do we need a strengthened power of thinking for the future?
Description
A contribution by Adam Blanning
Why do we need a strengthened power of thinking for the future?
Adam Blanning invites the audience on an imaginative journey into Steiner and Wegman’s “Fundamentals of Therapy”, treating the work rather as a living fairy-tale book than as dry specialist medical literature. He contrasts dusty, overloaded modern thinking and the instant answers of AI with slow, soulful reading, drawing, eurythmy and the discovery of fairy tales that mirror real case histories – such as the connection between an exhausted, drowsy patient and the “Worn-Out Dancing Slippers” (worn-out dancing shoes).
A contribution by Adam Blanning to the International Annual Conference 2025 of the Medical Section at the Goetheanum.
