Anthroposophical Guiding Principles
GA 26

After the Christmas Conference for the founding of the General Anthroposophical Society (1923), Rudolf Steiner wrote a series of 185 “Anthroposophical Guidelines” as well as regular letters “To the Members,” which were printed weekly in the newsletter “What is happening in the Anthroposophical Society.” This edition contains all of the guiding principles and the corresponding letters “To the Members.”
