18 lectures in Paris, May 25 - June 14, 1906 (CW 94)

This cycle of eighteen lectures...presented a survey of the evolution of cosmos, Earth, and humanity, to the extent attained by Dr. Steiner in the maturing process of his research. In his Autobiography, when looking back to the earlier years, he says of the stage that his knowledge had then attained: 'The whole world outside of human beings is a riddle, the real-world riddle; and humanity itself is the answer.' Through the years, we worked continuously at the solution of the riddle. These lectures of 1906 were also devoted to this theme, and three years later he was able to present the knowledge gained in a comprehensive form as his book An Outline of Esoteric Science. -- Guenther Wachsmuth (The Life and Work of Rudolf Steiner)

A congress of the Federation of European Sections of the Theosophical Society was held in Paris in May 1906. Rudolf Steiner attended with a number of students and presented a series of lectures to a small circle of friends, mostly society members. Édouard Schuré was present and made succinct notes of those talks, the result of which is An Esoteric Cosmology: Evolution, Christ, and Modern Spirituality. In is foreword, Schuré describes his initial impressions of Rudolf Steiner and the force of his vision: These priceless lectures mark a significant phase of Rudolf Steiner's thought--that of the spontaneous burst of his genius and its first crystallization. Indeed, his notes record perhaps the first general outline and summary of what would become Anthroposophy, or spiritual science.
