Introduction

This list contains an overview of the literature that has been used. I would like to point out that not all books in this overview have been translated into English. Some of the reference books exist only in German, Swedish, Dutch or Danish.

As written in the introduction to A2: Anthroposophical spiritual terminology, Rudolf Steiner has given more than 6,000 lectures and written 28 books in 1883–1925 and all have been translated to many different languages at different times. Based on this, it can be challenging to find a specific publication in a specific language. Rudolf Steiner lectures and books are originally given and written in German. The Center for Anthroposophy in Goetheanum has completed a register of his work based on GA numbers (GA stands for Gesamt Ausgabe): There is an English overview and search possibility in Rudolf Steiner Archive and E.lib: http://www.rsarchive.org.

The list of literature by Rudolf Steiner begins with one of the English titles followed by information on the publisher, GA-number, the German title, and the first year the book was published in German.

The references in this book have Steiner's name, the year the book was published in German, and the GA-number e.g., Steiner (1904, GA 12). This makes it possible for you at any time to find the original text, no matter title, language, and date of publication.

Content

The list of literature is organized into three parts

R1. Literature concerning the Lievegoed Impulse, Social Ecology or the NPI methods.

R2. Literature by other authors who are not directly in relation to the Lievegoed Impulse, Social Ecology or the NPI methods.

R3. A short list of anthroposophical literature.
