The human being who acts in accordance with his thoughts, who lives his life intellectualistically, can never become really tragic. Nor can the human being who leads an entirely virtuous life. The only tragic person is one who in some way leans toward the daimonic, that is to say, toward the spiritual, whether in a good or bad sense. Today in this age when man is in the process of becoming free, daimonic man, that is man under the influence of tutelary spirits, is an anachronism. That man should outgrow the daimonic and become free is the whole meaning of the fifth post-Atlantean age. But as he progresses in freedom the possibility of tragedy diminishes and finally ceases. Take ancient tragic characters, even most of Shakespeare's: they have a daimonism which leads to the tragic. Wherever man had the appearance of the daimonic-spiritual, wherever the daimonic-spiritual radiated and manifested through him, wherever he became its medium, tragedy was possible. In this sense the tragic will have to taper off now; a free mankind must rid itself of tutelary spirits. This it has not yet done. On the contrary, it is more and more falling prey to such forces.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":217,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/276/1923-06-09/p031","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1923-06-09","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 276/1923-06-09/p023","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-06-09/p023"},{"locus":"GA 276/1923-06-09/p024","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-06-09/p024"}],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"length_check":{"de_words":339,"en_words":277,"ratio":0.82,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Und der Mensch, der ganz tugendhaft lebt, kann auch eigentlich nie tragisch werden. 'Tragisch werden kann der Mensch, der in irgendeiner Weise zum Dämonischen, das heißt zum Geistigen hinneigt. Es fängt eine Persönlichkeit, ein Mensch erst an tragisch zu werden, wenn das Dämonische im Guten oder im Schlimmen in irgendeiner Weise in ihm vorhanden ist. Nun stehen wir heute im Zeitalter des frei werdenden Menschen, wo der Mensch als dämonischer Mensch eigentlich ein Anachronismus ist. Das ist der ganze Sinn des fünften nachatlantischen Zeitraumes, daß der Mensch aus dem Dämonischen herauswächst zum freien Menschen. Aber indem der Mensch ein freier Mensch wird, hört sozusagen die Möglichkeit des Tragischen auf. Wenn Sie die alten tragischen Gestalten, selbst noch die meisten Shakespearschen tragischen Gestalten nehmen, so haben Sie das innerlich Dämonische, welches zum Tragischen führt. Da, wo der Mensch die Erscheinung eines Dämonisch-Geistigen ist, wo das Dämonisch-Geistige durch ihn strahlt, sich offenbart, wo der Mensch gewissermaßen das Medium des Dämonischen wird, ist das Tragische möglich gewesen. In diesem Sinne wird das Tragische mehr oder weniger aufhören müssen, denn die freigewordene Menschheit muß sich von dem Dämonischen losmachen. Heute tut sie das noch nicht. Sie fällt erst recht ins Dämonische hinein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":215,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-06-09/p024"},{"locus":"GA 276/1923-06-09/p025","passage_number":25,"text":"Das ist aber einmal die große Zeitaufgabe, die Zeitmission, daß die Menschen aus dem Dämonischen herauswachsen und in das Freie hineinwachsen. Aber wenn wir die inneren Dämonen als diejenigen Gestalten, die uns zu tragischen Persönlichkeiten machen, loswerden, werden wir das Äußerlich-Dämonische um so weniger los. Denn in dem Augenblicke, wo der Mensch mit der Außenwelt in Beziehung tritt, fängt auch für den neueren Menschen etwas Dämonenartiges an. Unsere Gedanken müssen immer freier und freier werden. Und wenn, wie ich es in meiner «Philosophie der Freiheit» dargestellt habe, die Gedanken die Impulse für den Willen werden, wird auch der Wille frei. Das sind auch die polarischen Gegensätze, die frei werden können, die freien Gedanken, der freie Wille. Aber dazwischen liegt das übrige Menschliche, das mit dem Karma zusammenhängt. Und ebenso wie das Dämonische einmal zum Tragischen geführt hat, so wird gerade beim modernen Menschen das Erleben des Karma zur tiefen innerlichsten Tragik führen können. Die Tragödie wird aber erst blühen können, wenn die Menschen das Karma erleben werden. Solange wir bei unseren Gedanken bleiben, so lange können wir frei sein. Wenn wir die Gedanken in Worte kleiden, gehören die Worte nicht mehr uns. Was kann aus einem Worte, das ich ausgesprochen habe, alles werden! Es wird von dem andern aufgenommen. Er umgibt es mit anderen Emotionen, mit anderen Empfindungen. Das Wort lebt weiter. Indem das Wort durch die Menschen der Gegenwart fliegt, wird es eine Gewalt, die aber vom Menschen ausgegangen ist. Das ist sein Karma, durch das er mit der Welt zusammenhängt, das sich wiederum zurück auf ihn entladen kann. Da kann schon durch das Wort, das sein eigenes Dasein führt, weil es nicht uns angehört, weil es dem Sprachgenius angehört, das Tragische werden. Wir sehen gerade heute die Menschheit, ich möchte sagen überall in der Anlage zu tragischen Situationen durch die Überschätzung der Sprache, durch die Überschätzung des Wortes. Die Völker gliedern sich nach den Sprachen, wollen sich gliedern nach den Sprachen. Das gibt die Grundlage zu einer Riesen-Tragik, die noch in diesem Jahrhundert über die Erde hereinbrechen wird. Das ist die Tragik des Karma. Wenn wir sprechen können von der abgelebten Tragik als einer Tragik der Dämonologie, müssen wir von der Tragik der Zukunft sprechen als von der Tragik des Karma.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":373,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-06-09/p025"}],"beads":[{"from":[30,31],"to":[23,24],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"},{"from":[32,33],"to":[25],"confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
