Description
Book Introduction
Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy, proposed
A Collection of Three Lectures on Changing Your Thinking Habits


In modern society, where it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, thinking correctly now feels like the biggest challenge for modern people.
Are my thoughts truly real? Am I trapped in a pattern of thought that I've been taught and accustomed to? Or am I being swept up in someone else's thoughts? I can't help but wonder.

Rudolf Steiner talks about how impractical and violent educated and habitual thinking is.
And for those who want to cultivate their thinking so that they “always go on the right path in life,” it presents specific practice methods for thought training.
He says that if you practice consistently and repeatedly, it will not only change your overall attitude toward things and other people, but it will also become practical even in the smallest of everyday situations.

Into the book
“What usually makes someone make a claim today is not the evidence, but the thought patterns behind it.
“These acquired habits of thought influence the entire range of human feelings and sensations.”

“If you have what I have described as principles for thinking, you will find that thinking becomes truly practical, that you perceive things in the world in a completely different way than if you did not have those principles, and that your perspective is broadened.
“Little by little, not only do you begin to treat things completely differently, but your attitude toward others also changes.”
--- From the Karlsruhe Lectures

“By understanding the reality of the content of thought, we also learn how we can educate ourselves from that reality itself, for truly practical and healthy thinking.
When you want to do that, there are three things to consider.
The first is that we must unconditionally develop an interest in the external reality around us, a sense of fact, and an interest in relating to the sense of objects.
…the second is the love and joy we have for what we do.
And when you look back and reflect, fulfillment comes third.”
--- From "Berlin Lectures"

Publisher's Review
People abuse clichés in their mental lives, do things the way they always have in their economic lives, and follow conventions in their rights-based lives, including the law.
… In his youth, Rudolf Steiner illuminated the contradictions that people did not dare to deny because they were the opinions of academic authorities and accepted them as established facts, using anthroposophical spiritual science, and worked on the reality of thought and its role within human mental life in his work, “The Philosophy of Freedom.”
In other words, the process of thinking that does not simply accept existing views under the pressure of authority, but rather retrieves the etheric thought content mentioned above through active and independent activities, examines it together, and creates it, that is, the process of thinking that is free from the body, is clearly and logically described in 『Philosophy of Freedom』.
In this context, I think this booklet could be called a 'practice book' or 'methodology' for the Philosophy of Freedom.
