In this series of six lectures, given by Rudolf Steiner in the late Winter of 1919 at Zurich, Switzerland, he proffers ideas to solve the social problems and necessities required to live in the world, today, by studying the life sciences and social life, and the living conditions of the present-day humans. He expresses how the social will should be the basis of a new scientific order, and what the role of the modern worker should be.

Contents:

• The True Form of the Social Question;
• A comparison between the attempts at solving the social question based on life's realities and the necessity for a scientific spiritual concept of life as a social organism;
• Fanaticism versus a real conception of life in social thinking and willing.
• The evolution of social thinking and willing and life's circumstances for current humanity.
• The social will as the basis towards a new, scientific procedure.
• What significance does work have for the modern Proletarian?
