"Root Races" in GA 121

Daniel Hindes (March 13th, 2004):

Are we agreed that the phrase "Root Race" only ever occurs in the chapter titles of GA 121, and therefore does not go back to Steiner?
[My fault for asking a two-part question. The chapter titles were added by an editor for the 1960 edition of the book.]

Peter Staudenmaier (March 14th, 2004):

No, we are not in agreement about that. My copy of GA 121 contains no chapter titles whatsoever. In the English translation, "root races" occurs both in the titles and in the body of the text. There is a helpful note by the Gesamtausgabe editors on p. 572 of GA 266a, Aus den Inhalten der esoterischen Stunden, about Steiner's racial terminology; the editors equate "Wurzelrasse" and "Hauptrasse" in Steiner's usage. So did Steiner, of course.

Daniel Hindes (March 14th, 2004):

Ok. Let's try this again. Are we agreed that the phrase "Root Race" (specifically as the German "Wurzelrassen") does not occure in the German text of GA 121?" (Yes, "Hauptrassen" occurs twice, but we can look at that later).

Peter Staudenmaier (March 14th, 2004):

Yes, the word Wurzelrasse does not appear in the copy of GA 121 that I have. This was never in dispute, by the way.
