Does one work for oneself, for one's salary? Or does one work for others, the community or larger society? For Rudolf Steiner, it was critical to understand that work should be a free deed. In other words, work and income should be completely separated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this profound work, Peter Selg traces how, at the end of the Great War, with Steiner's tireless efforts for the threefold movement, this fundamental social-spiritual insight moved into the center of his activities as an overriding practical and spiritual concern, rephrased as the \"motto of social ethics,\" and deepened and filled with the full reality of Christ's teachings and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone interested in a just, equitable, healthy, and spirit-based social future should read \u003ci\u003eThe Fundamental Social Law\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 20, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48354962374826,"sku":"9780880106542","price":17.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1475\/4218\/files\/ZjlSTllwcjhaVXJWQzNHZWFHV1I2QT09.webp?v=1779983668","url":"https:\/\/wiccancenter.com\/zh-hans\/products\/the-fundamental-social-law-rudolf-steiner-on-the-work-of-the-individual-and-the-spirit-of-community-paperback","provider":"Wiccan Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
