Although this book was first published in 1919, it remains highly
relevant to social problems encountered today. Uniquely, Steiner's
social thinking is not based on intellectual theory, but on a profound
perception of the archetypal spiritual nature of social life. As he
suggests in this classic work, society has three distinct realms - the
economic, the political (individual human rights), and the cultural
(spiritual). While social life as a whole is a unity, the autonomy of
these three sectors should be respected if our increasing social
problems are to be resolved. Steiner relates the ideals of 'liberty,
equality and fraternity' to modern society. Economics calls for
fraternity (brotherhood), political rights require equality, while
culture should be characterised by liberty (freedom). The slogans of
the French Revolution, he suggests, can only become truly manifest if
our social thinking is transformed to correspond to the spiritual
reality.
