Today's psychology speaks only of ideas, at most of emotional emphases. The will is a very minor chapter. But what is actually real in human beings is the will, only the formed will, not the indefinite, blind will that played a role in the philosophies of the 19th century. And one will perceive eurythmy as an aesthetic expression of human nature when one says to oneself: when we observe human beings and see how their will is expressed prosaically in the outer world via their legs and feet, we generally pay little attention to how human beings execute their movements in this case, how they form and shape their limbs. We say that one person has a beautiful gait and another a less beautiful gait. But we are so preoccupied with relating what the legs do to usefulness, to purpose, that we take the beauty of the gait, so to speak, only as an added bonus of life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Eurythmy Performance","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-07-29","location":null,"word_count":187,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277d/1923-07-29/p017","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1923–1925","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277d/English/SOL2025/19230729e01.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.

Die heutige Seelenlehre spricht ja überhaupt nur von Vorstellungen, höchstens noch von Gefühlsbetonungen. Der Wille bildet ein sehr untergeordnetes Kapitel. Aber das eigentlich Reale im Menschen ist der Wille, nur eben der gestaltete Wille, nicht der unbestimmte, blinde Wille, der in den Philosophien des 19. Jahrhunderts eine Rolle gespielt hat. Und man wird die Eurythmie empfinden als einen ästhetischen Ausdruck der menschlichen Natur, wenn man sich sagt: Wenn man den Menschen betrachtet und anschaut, wie sein Wille auf dem Umweg durch seine Beine und Füße nun in der äußeren Welt prosaisch zum Ausdrucke kommt, so achten wir in der Regel wenig darauf, wie der Mensch in diesem Falle seine Bewegungen ausführt, seine Bewegungsglieder formt und gestaltet. Wir sagen zwar, der eine Mensch hat einen schönen Gang, der andere einen weniger schönen Gang. Allein - es nimmt uns so sehr in Anspruch das Beziehen desjenigen, was die Beine tun auf die Nützlichkeit, auf den Zweck, dass wir sozusagen die Schönheit des Ganges nur als eine Lebenszugabe nehmen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":195,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277d/1923-07-29/p017"}],"english":["GA 277d/1923-07-29/p017"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":195,"en_words":187,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2769,"original_word_count":2764,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1923–1925","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277d/English/SOL2025/19230729e01.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.
