We live in a time of multiple challenges to our rights and freedoms, not only under authoritarian regimes but also in liberal democracies around the globe. As the storm clouds of crises gather, Rudolf Steiner's century-old social vision offers a clear way forward.

Radical in his time and remaining so today, Steiner's "social threefolding" was not conceived as a "logical system." Rather, his picture of society as a living, threefold unity and social "organism" arises from artistic insight and needs to be grasped through the imagination. To understand its three dimensions--economic, political-legal cultural-spiritual--and how they interrelate is to experience them inwardly. This requires living, creative thinking that can penetrate the archetypal forces behind the concepts--a modern and truly Goethean approach to the social sciences.

In an illuminating study, Nigel 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, while also offering wise advice regarding the adaptation of education--at both school and graduate levels--to advance a threefold society.
