[Health and illness from an anthroposophical viewpoint. Lecture at the Summer Academy, '92 Lucerne].
Health and disease are only understood when man is not solely perceived as a physical, but also as a living, a psychic and a spiritual being. The scientific perception of physis has to be complemented by a likely scientific notion of the immaterial in man (life, soul, spirit). To this goal a human science is required like "Anthroposophy" to which I.P.V. Troxler from Lucerne (1780-1860) aspired and which was finally founded by R. Steiner (1861-1925). A really human medicine will only be regained by such an extension of modern medicine by humanities.
