Moreover, he explains in detail how human archetypal consciousness was gradually lost, giving way to newfound, subjective experience of those faculties, which in turn opens possibilities for human freedom. His overarching theme of the evolution of consciousness is grand in sweep, while Steiner shows himself to be a master of telling details. p pstrongLecturesstrong p
