Threefold State

The Threefold State: The True Aspect of the Social Question is a book by Rudolf Steiner that discusses his ideas on social reform. Steiner argues that society should be organized into three distinct spheres: the cultural, economic, and political. He believes that each of these spheres should be independent and autonomous, but also interconnected and interdependent. The cultural sphere would encompass education, science, and the arts, and would be responsible for the development of human knowledge and understanding. The economic sphere would be responsible for the production and distribution of goods and services, and would be guided by principles of fairness and sustainability. The political sphere would be responsible for maintaining order and justice, but would not interfere in the other two spheres.Steiner argues that this threefold system would create a more harmonious and just society, as each sphere would be able to focus on its own specific tasks without being burdened by the responsibilities of the others. He also emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and responsibility in this system, as each person would have the opportunity to contribute to society in their own unique way.Overall, The Threefold State is a thought-provoking and visionary work that offers a new perspective on the social question and the future of human society.Contents: Forward; The Social Question in its True Aspect as it Presents Itself in the Life of the Modern World; What Actual Life Demands for the Solution of Social Problems and Social Needs; Capitalism and Social Idea; International Aspect of the Threefold Commonwealth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
