The School of Spiritual Science VII

Following the Christmas Conference, a course for younger doctors and medical students took place in the same section. The main topic of discussion here was the inner orientation in the soul of someone who wants to devote themselves to medicine. This course was given in response to the spiritual needs of medical students coming to the Goetheanum. It aimed to provide a suggestive presentation of what those in the medical profession strive to know about the world and humanity; but it also aimed to uncover the sources of true medical ethos, of 'medical conviction'. Due to the brevity of the event, it was only possible to give hints for a guide. But the hope remains that what has been initiated with this will also be continued in the sense indicated above.
