The child is born. People speak of heredity, but we inherit only what would lead to decline. If the child were not educated by his whole environment and later by school and by life, he would degenerate. Education is a preservative from degeneration, it brings healing. The old instinctive knowledge of Man would still regard as a healing process everything connected with knowledge, education or priesthood. In olden times the office of the doctor could not be separated from that of the priest, they were one and the same. Modern evolution has separated natural science from the science of soul and spirit, as I explained in yesterday's lecture. Thus man leaves to medical science the healing of all that which, according to Julius Robert Mayer, has nothing to do with human aims, but is concerned only with the use of the forces of the horses and their transmutation to heat in the horses, in the wagon-axles, in the streets on which the wheels ran, and so forth. This is, roughly speaking, left to the physician; and people like Rubner in Berlin, who is only a representative of this mode of thought, calculate what is necessary to human life almost as though Man were a kind of complicated stove.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Fifteen","site_heading":"The Human Microcosm: Restoring Cosmic Unity to Fragmented Knowledge","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.

Das Kind wird geboren. Man spricht von Vererbungen. Ja aber, vererbt wird nur dasjenige, was zum Niedergange führen würde, was in die Dekadenz führen würde. Würde nicht das Kind erzogen werden schon durch die ganze Umgebung und später durch die Schule, durch das Leben, so würde das Kind entarten. Erziehung ist also in Wirklichkeit Bewahrung vor dem Entarten. Also, das wirkt Heilung. Als ein Heilungsprozeß wurde noch von der instinktiven Menschenerkenntnis aus alles angesehen, womit Erkenntnis, womit Erziehung, womit Priestertum irgend etwas zu tun hat. Für ältere Anschauungen war der Arzt vom Priester gar nicht zu trennen, war eines und dasselbe; erst die neuere Entwickelung hat Naturwissen und geist-seelisches Wissen so auseinandergetrennt, wie ich das gestern auseinandergesetzt habe. So daß man dem naturwissenschaftlichen Arzt überläßt, alles dasjenige zu heilen, was nach Ju/ius Robert Mayers Anschauung nichts zu tun hat mit dem, was Menschenziele sind und so weiter, sondern nur zu tun hat mit so etwas, wie die Aufwendung der umgewandelten Pferdekräfte in die Erhitzung der Pferde, der Wagenachsen, die Erhitzung der Straße, über die das Rad geht und so weiter. Das ungefähr überläßt man dem physischen Arzt. Und Leute wie Ruder in Berlin, der ja aber nur der Repräsentant dieser Richtung ist, die berechnen dasjenige, was der Mensch zum Leben nötig hat, ungefähr so, wie wenn der Mensch eine Art von komplizierterem Ofen wäre.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":239,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/201/1920-05-15/p005"}],"english":["GA 201/1920-05-15/p005"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":239,"en_words":219,"ratio":0.92,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.92,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4461,"original_word_count":4824,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George and Mary Adams","identified_edition":"RSP1972","book_title":"Man: Hieroglyph of the Universe","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA201/English/RSP1972/19200515p01.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.
