One can go even further and maintain that the movements of Eurythmy do actually proceed out of the inner organisation of man. Anyone who says: “As far as I am concerned, speech and music are all-sufficient; there can surely be no need to extend the sphere of art; I, for my part, have not the slightest wish for Eurythmy”;—such a man is, of course, perfectly right from his particular point of view. There is always a certain justification for any opinion, however conventional or pedantic. Why should one not hold such opinions? There is certainly no reason why one should not—none at all; but it cannot be said that such a standpoint shows any really deep artistic feeling and understanding. A truly artistic nature welcomes everything that could possibly serve to widen and enrich the whole field of art.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"A Lecture on Eurythmy","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-08-26","location":null,"word_count":150,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/277d/1923-08-26/p074","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:embedding","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"A.

Man hat ja immer recht, wenn man auch ein Philister ist, von seinem philiströsen Standpunkte aus. Warum denn nicht einen solchen Standpunkt haben? Alles hat seine gewisse Berechtigung, sicher; aber ein künstlerischer Standpunkt, ein wirklich innerlicher Standpunkt ist das nicht, denn derjenige, der eine wirkliche künstlerische Natur ist, hat alles Interesse daran, dass die Kunst so weit reiche, wie nur irgend möglich.
