In these lectures König explores the human being and
social life,
the individual and community, from an imaginative and often
radical perspective. These explorations range majestically
from masks and
archetypal images, the threefold constitution in man and woman,
the
karma of vocation, and the fundamental social law, to the
place of
work, religion and culture within the threefold social organism,
and
karma and reincarnation.
These lectures arose from Karl König's experiences in
building up Camphill Communities with extraordinary people
with special needs. They are
important both for the work in Camphill, as well as more broadly
in the
field of social therapy and beyond.
This is a revised and expanded edition of the Village Conference
Lectures of Karl König, previously published as In Need
of Special Understanding.
