Ziektes, epidemieën en preventie
Iedereen krijgt wel eens de griep. 'Griep wordt veroorzaakt door het influenzavirus,' krijgen we te horen. Maar klopt dat wel? En kun je je tegen griep beschermen? Hoe zit het met aangestoken worden en vaccineren?
Vroeger waren spoken de ziekteoorzaken, tegenwoordig zijn het bacillen of virussen. Steiner beschrijft de dieper liggende oorzaken van ziektes en epidemieën, zoals griep, malaria of cholera, voor deze tijd.
Hoe kunnen psychische epidemieën, nerveuze stoornissen uitgroeien? Ook de karmische aspekten worden hier helder belicht.
Met tal van adviezen om met deze zaken om te gaan.

Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner was an Austrian occultist, social reformer, architect, esotericist, and claimed clairvoyant. Steiner gained initial recognition at the end of the nineteenth century as a literary critic and published works including The Philosophy of Freedom. At the beginning of the twentieth century he founded an esoteric spiritual movement, anthroposophy, with roots in German idealist philosophy and theosophy. His teachings are influenced by Christian Gnosticism or neognosticism. Many of his ideas are pseudoscientific. He was also prone to pseudohistory.
In the first, more philosophically oriented phase of this movement, Steiner attempted to find a synthesis between science and spirituality. His philosophical work of these years, which he termed "spiritual science", sought to apply what he saw as the clarity of thinking characteristic of Western philosophy to spiritual questions, differentiating this approach from what he considered to be vaguer approaches to mysticism. In a second phase, beginning around 1907, he began working collaboratively in a variety of artistic media, including drama, dance and architecture, culminating in the building of the Goetheanum, a cultural centre to house all the arts. In the third phase of his work, beginning after World War I, Steiner worked on various ostensibly applied projects, including Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, and anthroposophical medicine.
Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual approach. He based his epistemology on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's world view in which "thinking…is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas." A consistent thread that runs through his work is the goal of demonstrating that there are no limits to human knowledge.

Has some interesting thoughts
This book is a compilation of Rudolf Steiner citations in other books that are related to infections and Epidemics. The first half of the book is very interesting and inspiring thoughts for the situation that we are living in 2020. Unfortunately, in the second half of the book Steiner delves into a more esoteric path that is more a fictional work than anything else.

Exactly my point of view :)
Even though it is obviously from another time it is still fundamentally true at its core.
