{"product_id":"9781912992553","title":"The Social Archetype : Realizing Society's Threefold Unity, A New Goetheanism by Nigel Hoffmann","description":"We live in a time of multiple challenges to our rights and freedoms - not only in authoritarian regimes but also in liberal democracies around the globe. As the storm clouds of crisis gather, Rudolf Steiner's social vision - now a century old - offers a clear way forward. Radical in his time and still so today, Steiner's `social threefolding' is not conceived as a logical `system'. Rather, his picture of society as a living threefold unity, as a social `organism', is an artistic insight that needs to be grasped imaginatively. To understand its three dimensions - the economic, the political-legal and cultural-spiritual spheres - and how they relate to each other, is to experience them inwardly. This requires a living, creative thinking that is able to enter the archetypal forces behind the concepts: a modern-day, truly Goethean approach to the social sciences. In an illuminating study, Hoffmann's dynamic presentation enables us to develop precisely such an artistic-imaginative understanding of the threefold social organism. He achieves this through clear descriptions of its principles and practical governance, whilst offering wise advice regarding the adaptation of education - at school and tertiary levels - for a threefold society.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309072232821,"sku":"9781912992553","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781912992553.jpg?v=1762810329","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781912992553","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
