On Sunday we are doing a livestream with the opportunity to ask myself, Jeff or Jonathan questions about RoP or Steiner related questions.

The focus will be on chapter 10 which leads to some soul deepening questions. These could include:

1. What do we think he means when he says: The last sixty years represent the age in which the mode of conception of natural science attempted, from different points of view, to shake the foundation on which philosophy formerly stood.
2. What do we think the significance of these “natural scientific views” is: The significance of these views for philosophy becomes apparent only if one examines the scientific foundations from which they are derived, and if one realizes for oneself the tendencies of scientific thinking according to which they were developed.
3. How do we understand the necessary evolution he refers to: …….. [the] book has attempted to supply the foundation, will also find it possible to accept the indicated relation between philosophy and natural science in the present age as a necessary phase of its evolution.
4. What are the consequences of this observation: A conception of nature arose that is so exclusively concerned with the observation of the external world that it does not show any inclination to include in its world picture what the soul experiences in its inner world.
5. To what extent is the following true: The view expressed in this book tries to show that many situations arising from the attempted solutions in the philosophy of the present tend to recognize an element in the inner experience of the human soul that manifests itself in such a way that the exclusive claim of natural science can no longer deny that element a place in the modern world picture.
6. The most intriguing question from my perspective. How should philosophy understand itself? : What this book means to show is that philosophy, if it arrives at the point where it understands itself, must lead the spirit to a soul experience that is, to be sure, the fruit of its work, but also grows beyond it.

Walter Russell might represents the entirety of the human experience in this picture of becoming and dissolving, the eternal breathing of the universe also reflects itself in the life of thinking, feeling and willing.
