We cannot develop an art of education from the sciences as they are practiced today. I certainly do not want to trivialize the great progress and triumphs of modern science. Nevertheless we must understand the developing human being from a very different perspective. The sciences have remained theoretical and have created a contradiction between external physical existence and the spirit-soul. We can therefore say that they offer no support or help to our pedagogical principles. Putting those pedagogical principles into practice depends upon teachers who are highly skilled at practicing them instinctively.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Sie können ja schon aus den Andeutungen, die ich bisher zu geben in der Lage war, ersehen, daß die Frage, die ich im ersten Vortrage aufgeworfen habe, in einer gewissen Weise sich schon jetzt, wenigstens teilweise, beantworten läßt. Diese Frage ist ja, wie ich glaube, für den gegenwärtigen Pädagogen von einer ganz besonderen Wichtigkeit. Es ist die Frage: Wie kommt es denn eigentlich, daß wir auf der einen Seite eine ausgezeichnete wissenschaftliche Pädagogik haben, das heißt, den Niederschlag der Prinzipien ausgezeichneter pädagogischer Genies, und daß wir doch über die weitesten Kreise hin berechtigte Kritiken der pädagogischen Kunst, der Handhabung dieser pädagogischen Wissenschaft in der Gegenwart haben? Es kommt dies daher, daß wir zwar aus den Prinzipien, welche aus einer gewissen instinktiven Intuition durch pädagogische Genies gegeben werden, die abstrakten Hinweise haben, wie man sich verhalten soll als Pädagoge; daß aber dieser Sammlung von Prinzipien in dieser abgelaufenen Zeit, in der unsere ganze Weltanschauung davon durchdrungen worden ist, dieser pädagogischen Wissenschaft nicht in gleichem Sinne eine wirkliche Einsicht in die Menschennatur gegenüberstand. Aus der Naturwissenschaft, wie sie getrieben worden ist - man braucht nicht ihre großen Fortschritte, ihre ungeheuren Triumphe zu verkennen -, läßt sich nicht eine pädagogische Kunst unmittelbar gewinnen. Dazu ist notwendig, daß man von ganz anderen Gesichtspunkten aus in das Wesen des werdenden Menschen eindringe. Und so kann man sagen, daß vor allen Dingen die Naturwissenschaft, die theoretisch geblieben ist, die einen Gegensatz geschaffen hat zwischen dem äußeren Leiblichen und dem Geistig-Seelischen, keine Unterstützung, keine Hilfe leistete für die ausgezeichneten pädagogischen Grundsätze, und daß daher diese pädagogischen Grundsätze bisher darauf angewiesen waren, von besonders veranlagten Pädagogen instinktiv angewendet zu werden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":327,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/301/1920-04-22/p003"}],"english":["GA 301/1920-04-22/p003","GA 301/1920-04-22/p004"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":327,"en_words":261,"ratio":0.8,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.89,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5026,"original_word_count":5630,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Ruth Pusch and Gertrude Teutsch","identified_edition":"AP2001","book_title":"The Renewal of Education","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA301/English/AP2001/19200422d01.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.
