Extending Practical Medicine: Fundamental Principles Based on the Science of the Spirit

In this classic introductory work on spiritual medicine, Rudolf Steiner worked in unique literary, collaboration with the physician Ita Wegman. Their aim was to revitalize the art of healing through spiritual knowledge -- yet, in so doing, they did not underrate or dismiss modern scientific medicine but illumined it beyond its present materialistic outlook to a fuller realization of the human condition. Today this new extension of practical medicine, known as "anthroposophical medicine," is used and valued by many physicians around the world.
