In Transforming the Soul Volume 2, Rudolf Steiner also explores the spiritual significance of various expressions of human nature, including laughing and weeping, sickness and health, error and mental disorder, positivity and negativity, and conscience. Steiner also discusses the nature of prayer, mysticism, the mission of art, and the significance of language. Throughout the talks, he illustrates various aspects of his topics using references to significant historical figures, including Zarathustra, Socrates, Plato, Homer, Wagner, Goethe, Hegel and Angelus Silesius.

These inspiring and eminently practical lectures form the conclusion to Transforming the Soul, Volume 1, but can also be read independently.
