We must take account of the fact that both social and antisocial impulses exist in him and must come to expression regardless of what social structure exists and what social ideas are brought to realization. As we have seen, the antisocial impulses, especially in our epoch of the consciousness soul, play a special role. In a certain way they have an educational mission in the evolution of humanity in that they cause men to stand on their own feet. They will be overcome by reason of the fact that, after the epoch of the consciousness soul, there will follow the epoch of the spirit self, already in course of preparation, whose essential mission will be to bring humanity into social unity. This will not happen, however, in such a way as is dreamed at present by people indulging in illusions, but in such a way that one person shall really know and be interested in the other as a human being. In short, he shall center his attention upon the other person so that each individual shall acquire the capacity of comprehending the other with full interest.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Die antisozialen Impulse spielen, wie wir gesehen haben, gerade in unserm Zeitalter der Bewußtseinsseele eine ganz besondere Rolle. Sie haben gewissermaßen in der Entwickelung der Menschheit eine erzieherische Aufgabe bei dem Auf-sich-selbstStellen des Menschen. Sie werden überwunden werden dadurch, daß auf unser Zeitalter der Bewußtseinsseele das andere Zeitalter, das sich schon vorbereitet, das Zeitalter des Geistselbstes folgt, das im wesentlichen die Menschheit sozial zusammenfassen wird. Allerdings wird das nicht so geschehen, wie Illusionäre heute träumen, sondern in der Weise, daß der eine den andern als Menschen wirklich kennt, für ihn als Menschen Interesse hat — kurz, den Menschen ins Auge faßt, so daß jeder einzelne Mensch in die Lage kommt, den anderen Menschen als solchen interessevoll aufzufassen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":189,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/186/1918-12-08/p003"}],"english":["GA 186/1918-12-08/p003"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":189,"en_words":226,"ratio":1.2,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9943,"original_word_count":9249,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Olin D.
