An Esoteric Cosmology

An Esoteric Cosmology

On-line since: 15th January, 2001

by Rudolf Steiner
Eighteen Lectures delivered in Paris, France
May 25 to June 14, 1906
Bn 94.1, GA 94

This volume consists of notes by Schure of the 18 lectures Steiner gave in Paris in 1906. These notes constitute the only known record of these lectures. Steiner presents a survey of the evolution of the cosmos, earth and humanity in a comprehensive way that he later expanded into his book An Outline of Occult Science.

This is the authorized translation from shorthand reports unrevised by the lecturer. The original German texts of these lectures can be found in the Collected Edition of Rudolf Steiner's works, No. 94 in the Bibliographical Survey, 1961. (Includes a resume, as reported and transmuted from the German into French by Edouard Schuré who attended the lectures.)

This lecture series is presented here with the kind permission of the Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland. From Bn 94.1, GA 94.
