Eleventh Lecture

Even if this is only a beginning, the close connection between the Goetheanum, which strives for a worldview in the spiritual sense, and Dr. Wegman's clinic makes it possible to restore what was taken for granted in ancient times, when knowledge was mystery knowledge: to bring medicine into the closest possible connection with spiritual vision. And that is what the anthroposophical movement would like to fulfill in response to the demands of the times. We can therefore hope that this collaboration between worldview and clinical practice, this work toward initiation, will give rise to life and, in addition to an initiatory knowledge that meets modern requirements, also to an initiatory medicine, a medicine as an initiatory science. In these two hours, I have attempted to outline in a few strokes how this is being sought in the early stages.
