Stagnation and resistance create a situation in which a leap in development is required. In nature, living organisms suffering from inner blockages must heal or die. The same applies to the social organism--society--which occasionally requires drastic change to avoid complete collapse or violent revolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith his frequently repeated phrase \"We are the Revolution!\" the artist and social activist Joseph Beuys was intimating that true transformation develops from within, in an artistic or creative way. People are the source of metamorphosis in the social realm. But in modern times a \"we\" is also required--an agreement with others. The individual connects with fellow human beings, in active cooperation, as a solid foundation for healthy forms of coexistence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a series of clear and insightful essays, Ulrich Rösch builds on the \"threefold\" social thinking of Rudolf Steiner, Joseph Beuys and others, presenting ideas for change in the context of twenty-first-century life. Our world has become unified through the global division of labor and interdependence, which calls for fresh thinking and rejuvenated social forms. Rösch compares the spirituality and social action of Mahatma Gandhi and Rudolf Steiner; takes the living example of a biodynamic farm as a social organism; and studies the tangible situation of the production and worldwide sale of bananas as a symptom of inequitable commerce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrich Rösch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 190699952X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906999520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple Lodge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.13w x 0.35d","brand":"Ulrich Rösch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450043609343,"sku":"9781906999520","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc5fd79b-3b74-42cf-8527-f32434d6af11.jpg?v=1777265979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-are-the-revolution-ulrich-rzisch-9781906999520","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
