It is our cognitive intercourse with the external world that this group of senses conveys to us in very varying ways. First, we have four senses which unite us with the outer world beyond any doubt. They are the ego-sense, the sense of thought, the word-sense and the sense of hearing. You will unhesitatingly recognise that when we perceive the ego of another person, we are with our entire experience in the outer world, as also when we perceive the thoughts or words of another. As regards the sense of hearing it is not quite so obvious; but that is only because people have taken an abstract view of the matter, and have diffused over the whole of the senses the colouring of a common concept, a concept of what sense-life is supposed to be, and do not consider what is specific in each individual sense. Of course, one cannot apply external experiment to one's ideas upon these matters, but one has to be capable of an inner feeling for these experiences.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"The Twelve Senses: Mapping Human Perception and Consciousness","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.

Es ist unser Verkehr mit der Außenwelt, unser erkennender Verkehr mit der Außenwelt, den uns diese Sinne vermitteln; allerdings in einer sehr verschiedenen Weise mit Bezug auf die Außenwelt. Wir haben zunächst vier Sinne, die uns in zweifelloser Weise mit der Außenwelt verbinden, wenn ich das Wort zweifellos in diesem Falle gebrauchen darf; das sind: der Ichsinn, der Gedankensinn, der Wortesinn und der Gehörsinn. Es wird Ihnen ohne weiteres klar sein, daß wir mit unserem ganzen Erleben gewissermaßen in der Außenwelt sind, wenn wir das Ich eines andern wahrnehmen, ebenso wenn wir die Gedanken oder die Worte eines andern wahrnehmen. Nicht so einleuchtend könnte das sein in bezug auf den Gehörsinn; aber das kommt ja nur davon her, weil man in einer Art abstrakter Anschauung über alle Sinne so eine gemeinsame Begriffsnuance ausgegossen hat, die eben ein gemeinsamer Begriff, eine gemeinsame Idee eines Sinneslebens sein soll, und man nicht eigentlich das Spezifische der einzelnen Sinne ins Auge faßt. Natürlich kann man diese Dinge nicht, ich möchte sagen, im äußeren Experimente auf ihre Begriffe bringen, sondern dazu ist schon notwendig, daß man eben die Fähigkeit des Anfühlens der Erlebnisse hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":222,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/206/1921-07-22/p010"}],"english":["GA 206/1921-07-22/p010"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":222,"en_words":205,"ratio":0.92,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5289,"original_word_count":5188,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy Lenn","identified_edition":"APC1958","book_title":"Man as a Being of Sense and Perception","publisher":"Anthroposophical Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA206/English/APC1958/19210722p01.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
