It is only when we compare this whole man, according to these nine principles, with the animal world that we can arrive at a useful picture of the relation of man to the animals. I mean a mental picture which enters truly into the life of feeling and which the Will itself can apprehend. We must know that just as the soul of man is clothed with a physical body the animal also is clothed with a physical body, which, however, in many ways is formed differently from that of man. The physical body of man is not really more perfect than that of the animal. Think of some of the higher animals, the beaver, for instance, how he builds his dams. A man could not do this unless he had learned it, unless indeed he had gone through a very complicated training for the purpose, including the study of architecture and kindred subjects. The beaver makes his dam by means of the organisation of his body. He is so related to his environment that he uses the very forces which build up his own physical body in the construction of his dam. His physical body itself is, in this respect his teacher. We can observe the wasps and bees, also the so-called lower animals, and we shall find something inherent in the form of their physical bodies which is not in the physical body of man to the same degree of intensity. This is all that we include in the concept instinct; and we can only make a real study of instinct if we consider it in connection with the form of the physical body. If we study all the different species of animals as distributed in the world we shall find that the forms of their physical bodies always give us the clue to the study of the different kinds of instinct.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IV","site_heading":"Will, Feeling, and the Inner Nature of Man","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.

Wir bekommen nur, wenn wir diesen ganzen Menschen nach diesen neun Gliedern mit der Tierwelt vergleichen, eine empfindungsgemäße und für die Auffassung des Willens brauchbare Vorstellung von der Beziehung des Menschen zu den Tieren, wenn wir wissen: so wie der Mensch in seiner Seele umkleidet ist mit dem physischen Leib, so ist auch das Tier mit einem physischen Leib umkleidet, aber der physische Leib des Tieres ist in vieler Beziehung anders gestaltet als der des Menschen. Der physische Leib des Menschen ist nicht eigentlich vollkommener als der des Tieres. Denken Sie an solche aus der Reihe der höheren Tiere wie an den Biber, wenn er seinen Biberbau formt. Das kann der Mensch nicht, wenn er es nicht lernt, wenn er nicht sogar eine sehr komplizierte Schulung dazu durchmacht, wenn er nicht Architektur lernt und dergleichen. Der Biber macht seinen Bau aus der Organisation seines Leibes heraus. Es ist einfach sein äußerer, physischer Leib so geformt, daß er sich in die äußere physische Welt so einfügt, daß er das, was in den Formen seines physischen Leibes lebt, zur Herstellung seines Biberbaues verwenden kann. Sein physischer Leib selbst ist in dieser Beziehung sein Lehrmeister. Wir können die Wespen, die Bienen, können auch die sogenannten niederen Tiere beobachten und werden in der Form ihrer physischen Leiber finden, daß darin etwas verankert ist, was im physischen Leibe des Menschen in dieser Ausdehnung, in dieser Stärke nicht vorhanden ist. Das ist alles das, was wir umfassen mit dem Begriff des Instinktes; so daß wir den Instinkt in Wirklichkeit nur studieren können, wenn wir ihn im Zusammenhange mit der Form des physischen Leibes betrachten. Studieren wir die ganze Tierreihe, wie sie sich außen ausbreitet, so werden wir in den Formen der physischen Leiber der Tiere überall drinnen die Anleitung haben, die verschiedenen Arten der Instinkte zu studieren. Wir müssen, wenn wir den Willen studieren wollen, ihn zuerst aufsuchen im Gebiete des Instinktes und müssen uns bewußt werden, daß wir den Instinkt auffinden in den Formen der physischen Leiber der verschiedenen Tiere. Wenn wir die Hauptformen der einzelnen Tiere ins Auge fassen und aufzeichnen würden, so würden wir die verschiedenen Gebiete des Instinktes zeichnen können. Was der Instinkt als Wille ist, das ist im Bilde die Form des physischen Leibes der verschiedenen Tiere. Sie sehen, dadurch kommt Sinn in die Welt hinein, wenn wir diesen Gesichtspunkt anlegen können. Wir überschauen die Formen der physischen Tierleiber und sehen darin eine Zeichnung, welche die Natur selbst von den Instinkten schafft, durch die sie verwirklichen will, was im Dasein lebt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":439,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/293/1919-08-25/p011"}],"english":["GA 293/1919-08-25/p011","GA 293/1919-08-25/p012"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":439,"en_words":453,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5417,"original_word_count":5355,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Daphne Harwood and Helen Fox","identified_edition":"RSP1966","book_title":"The Study of Man","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA293/English/RSP1966/19190825a01.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.
