Little by little, people come to observe in the Waldorf School. This is what people of the modern age do; when something interests them here or there, they go and see it, then they “know” it, and under certain circumstances they can also set something like that up. That is how our lives have gradually become. But that is not what the Waldorf School is about. What it is about is the fact that, above all, one can delve into the inner life that has been introduced into the didactics and pedagogy at the Waldorf School. It is about the fact that one can grasp the relationship between the human being and the world in a completely new way. In terms of the world of ideas, people are indeed generous. Man does not want to keep his world of ideas to himself. He would like everyone to have the same ideas, that is, he would like to give his ideas to all people. Man is not so generous with regard to other goods; he prefers to keep them to himself. He is happy to give everyone his ideas. This is precisely what makes the radical difference between the spiritual world on the one hand and the economic world on the other. This difference is radically present if one only wants to look at it, and basically, if someone under the old system tends to be a teacher, it only consists of generosity with regard to the world of ideas. This is because children are even better at accepting gifts than adults, who may encounter you with criticism and resistance. It is even easier to give gifts of knowledge to children.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Thirteenth Lecture","site_heading":"Ideas and Growth Forces: Bridging Prenatal and Posthumous Existence","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Nach und nach kommen die Menschen und wollen hospitieren in der Waldorfschule. Das machen ja die Menschen der modernen Zeit; wenn sie etwas da oder dort interessiert, so gehen sie hin, schauen es sich an, dann «kennen» sie es, dann können sie unter Umständen auch so etwas einrichten. So ist ja allmählich unser Leben geworden. Aber darum handelt es sich gar nicht bei der Waldorfschule, sondern da handelt es sich darum, daß man vor allen Dingen in das innere Leben, das in die Didaktik, die Pädagogik in der Waldorfschule eingeführt worden ist, sich vertiefen kann. Da handelt es sich darum, daß man in der Tat das Verhältnis des Menschen zur Welt in einer ganz neuen Weise erfaßt. In bezug auf die Ideenwelt sind ja die Menschen freigebig. Der Mensch will nicht gerne seine Ideenwelt für sich behalten. Er möchte gern, daß alle dieselben Ideen haben, das heißt, er möchte seine Ideen allen Menschen geben. Mit Bezug auf andere Güter ist der Mensch nicht so freigebig, die behält er schon lieber für sich. Von den Ideen gibt er gerne allen. Das macht eben gerade den radikalen Unterschied zwischen der Geisteswelt auf der einen Seite und der wirtschaftlichen Welt auf der anderen Seite aus. Dieser Unterschied ist schon radikal vorhanden, wenn man nur auf ihn hinsehen will, und im Grunde genommen, wenn jemand nach dem alten System die Tendenz hat, Lehrer zu sein, besteht das auch nur in der Freigebigkeit bezüglich der Ideenwelt. Denn die Kinder sind noch bessere Geschenkannehmer als die Erwachsenen, die einem mit Kritik und mit Widerständen entgegenkommen können. An die Kinder kann man die Geschenke des Wissens noch leichter austeilen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":279,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/198/1920-07-10/p022"}],"english":["GA 198/1920-07-10/p022"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":279,"en_words":287,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5786,"original_word_count":5526,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Healing Factors for the Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA198/English/SOL2024/19200710p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
