from Steiner's Description of the Social Organism .. A Summary offered in Remembrance of the "best and the worst" of the French Revolution Because every person has needs, rights and talents, a healthey society must also have three dimensions: an economic dimension, the sum of individual needs; a political dimension, the sum of individual rights; a cultural dimension, the sum of individual talents and abilities. A society then is unhealthy to the degree that: the economic needs of individuals are unsatisfied the rights of the individuals are not recognized the talents and abilities of individuals are unfruitful. An unhealthy society tends toward unrest ande disintegration. It can be held together (imposed unity) only throught he use of physiucal force, and/or by the misues of tghe power of the law (i.e. Law used as an instrument of injustice, might makes right, apartheid, majority tyranny, secret police etc. etc.) A healthy society is a self-sustaing organism because its three dimensions are clearly differentiated, and each operates according to its own functional law. The incontrovertible functional laws of any social organism (state) in the modern world are: 1. that economic health (the satisfaction of economic needs) is proportional to the degree of fraterninty practiced amongst individuals; 2. that political health (the respect for individual rights) is proportional to the degree of legal equality existing between individuals; 3. that cultural health (the fruitfulness of talents and abilities) is proportinoal to the degree of liberty exercised by individuals In the final analysis the health of a society is determined by the interest of the individuals within it. The interest of individuals (i.e. their capacity to act consciously for th ebetterment of society) is determined by their insight into the necessary logic of this threefold differentiation. ONly to the extent that these laws are recognized and acted upon, will social unrest and upheaval cease. ~ Rudolph Steiner
