One Day Conference on Saturday 19th May 2007 In Hammersmith London
10.00am-4.30 pm
Although Barfield is known mostly as a philosopher and historian of language, he wrote extensively in the 1920s and 1930s on socio-economic themes and was the con-translator of Rudolf Steiner's Economics Course "World Economy". His ideas continue to have considerable relevance to our modern times, as borne out by recent issues of the Associative Economics Monthly under the editorship of Dr. Christopher Houghton Budd.
This one-day conference, which requires no prior knowledge of either Owen Barfield or economics but merely a general interest in social affairs from an anthroposophical perspective, will include talks by Christopher Houghton Budd, Dr. Astrid Diener (German author of "The Role of Imagination in Culture and Society: Owen Barfield's Early Work, 2002) and also myself as author of a recently published biographical study of Barfield. • Simon Blaxland de Lange - 01342 810133
