The Roots of Education

Steiner had only eleven months left in this world when he gave these lectures. The first Waldorf school had been established five years earlier, and the intervening period had witnessed Steiner's tireless activity in every area of the school's life. Now, in a sense, it was time to bring the ripe fruit of this work to the public.
Together with its companion course The Essentials of Education (given three days earlier), this book provides a stimulating synthesis of the Waldorf approach to education. Teachers, parents, and anyone interested in education will discover the fundamental characteristics of a new art of education.
