Three Realms of Society
Steiner distinguished three realms of society:
- the economy;
- politics, law, and human rights; and
- cultural institutions, including science, education, arts, religion, and media.
He suggested that the three would only become mutually corrective and function together in a healthy way when each was granted sufficient independence. This has become known as "social threefolding".
