Say What Index








Here is a guide to the contents of the "Say What?", Parts 1, 2, and 3.  The guide is meant to be indicative, not exhaustive; it can help you to navigate your way through the welter of quotations in these three parts, but it leaves plenty of room for you to make your own explorations.

Each entry in the guide names a topic, then it lists some of the quotations that bear on this subject. So, for instance, an entry such as "Anthroposophical Medicine   1, 9" tells you that the first and ninth quotations deal, at least in part, with Anthroposophical medicine. This will get you started. But if you poke around (using, for instance, your browser's "find" function), you will discover other references to angels on these pages.

(Some particularly striking quotations make more than one appearance in the three parts of "Say What?" — longer versions and shorter versions of Steiner's odd remarks. If you come upon a quotation that you have seen before, in one version or another, you still may want to pause and consider, or reconsider, what Steiner meant and what you should make of his meaning.) 

— Roger Rawlings
