2. Human beings as Spiritual and Soul Beings

To speak in terms of spiritual science about the eternal in the human soul, or, as one might also say, about the problem of immortality and the related mystery of the freedom of the human soul, is indeed the task of the entire series of lectures that I would like to give here this winter. These are the two questions which, admittedly, the scientific worldview cannot even approach, and on which the purely philosophical view of the world will always founder, as I believe is evident from my book “The Riddles of Philosophy” and from an unbiased consideration of the historical development of philosophy in general.
