Anthroposophy contains social ideas, perspectives for a new understanding of the state, and concepts for the tasks of a modern democracy and civil society. Drawing on the three ideals of the French Revolution—’liberty, equality, and fraternity’—it speaks of the Threefold Structure of the Social Organism: a free spiritual, educational, and cultural life; a sphere of the state focused on the legal equality of all people and the creation of conditions for a free cultural life; and an economic life built on respect and solidarity.

Since these three spheres of life depend on one another and exist for one another, communication forms are needed that enable constructive cooperation among the representatives of these three areas.
