Description
The Fourth Dimension: Sacred Geometry, Alchemy, and Mathematics Rudolf Steiner's lectures on higher-dimensional space explore the relationship between geometric studies and direct spiritual perception. This collection brings together six lectures from 1905, two additional talks from 1908, and selections from question-and-answer sessions spanning over a decade. Steiner delves into topics such as constructing a fourth-dimensional hypercube, the dimensions of the self-aware human being, and the dimensional aspect of spiritual beings encountered by Moses on Mt. Sinai. The book also includes sketches drawn during lectures, reconstructed by Renatus Ziegler. Translated from German for the first time, this volume offers insights into Steiner's lifelong project to demonstrate that our everyday thinking is part of a ladder reaching infinite heights.
