Books
My research work, as expressed in my books, attempts to create a basis for the understanding of the deep processes of contemporary culture. By presenting developmental perspectives with a broad scope, an attempt is made to decipher the codes of current events. It is an attempt to uncover the common thread of development within the cultural chaos in which we live and to point to new, future-oriented possibilities of knowledge, experience, and creation.
Articles
Collected here are articles written at various times and published in das Goetheanum and other journals. They reflect an attempt to give concentrated expression to my thoughts in various fields, from questions of fate and community to questions related to culture, art, and poetry.
