Art As a Bridge Between the Sensible and the Supersensible

This short lecture comes from a series on social issues and includes the reminder to recognize that everyone has a legitimate point of view which should be respected. An­ti-social forces can be combatted by taking an interest in the wider world and going beyond one’s personal concerns. Art has become too naturalistic, which is a materializing devel­opment which in turn makes it harder for people to approach the supersensible or connect to the souls of the dead. This lecture has not been published before in English and is a timely reminder and very helpful to have available. This lecture, given by Rudolf Steiner, has been translated from the original German by Peter Stebbing.
