We need an art of teaching based on a knowledge of human beings—knowledge of the child. This art of education will arise when we find a doctor’s thesis that works with a case of diabetes at the age of forty by tracing it back to the harmful effects of the wrong kind of play in the third or fourth year. People will see then what we mean by saying that the human being consists of body, soul, and spirit, and that in the child, body, soul, and spirit are still a unity. The spirit and soul later become freed of the body, and a trinity is formed. In the adult, body, soul, and spirit are pushed apart, as it were, and only the body retains what was absorbed by the individual during early development as the seed of later life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Two","site_heading":"Spiritual Knowledge of Human Development and Childhood Imitation","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 brauchen da eine Pädagogik, die auf Menschenerkenntnis, auf Erkenntnis des Kindes beruht. Und wiederum, eine wirkliche Pädagogik, die auf Menschenerkenntnis beruht, wird in demjenigen Zeitalter vorhanden sein, wo man zum Beispiel erleben wird Doktorarbeiten von der Art: Ein Fall von Diabetes bei einem Vierzigjährigen zurückgeführt auf die Schädlichkeit des kindlichen Spieles im 3., 4. Lebensjahr. Dann wird man sehen, was es heißt: der ganze Mensch besteht aus Körper, Seele und Geist, und beim Kinde ist Körper, Seele und Geist noch eine Einheit. Geist und Seele werden später vom Körper frei, dann sind sie ein Dreifaches. Dann sind sozusagen im erwachsenen Menschen Geist, Seele und Leib auseinandergeschoben, und nur der Leib behält dasjenige, was in ihm während der Zeit der kindlichen Entwickelung eingezogen ist als Keim für das spätere Leben. Nun ist das Eigentümliche: In der Seele erleben wir Folgen, die eben in das Unterbewußte hineingezogen sind, bald; physisch im Körper erleben wir es sieben- bis achtmal später. Wenn Sie das Kind seelenhaft erziehen, das Seelenhafte im 4., 5. Lebensjahr so geltend machen, daß das Kind es aufgenommen hat und sein Seelenleben unter dem Einflusse steht, so kommt dieses zum Beispiel im 8. Lebensjahr zum Vorschein. Die Leute sehen noch darauf, daß man im 4., 5. Lebensjahr das nicht beibringt, was es nicht gesund macht im 8., 9. Lebensjahr. Die Seelenwirkung zeigt sich im 8., im 7. Lebensjahr. Die körperliche Wirkung zeigt sich — weil sich der Körper emanzipiert — langsamer, zeigt sich sieben- bis achtmal später. Für die seelische Entwickelung zeigen sich die Früchte eines Einflusses aus dem 5. Lebensjahr im 8. Lebensjahr; im Körper zeigen sie sich nach 35 Jahren, nach einer Zeit, die siebenmal größer ist. 5 mal 7 ist 35. So daß Krankheitserscheinungen, die auftreten infolge einer falschen, durch Spielen bewirkten seelischen Einwirkung im 3., 4. Lebensjahr, im Beginne der Vierziger- oder Ende der Dreifigerjahre auftreten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":337,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/309/1924-04-14/p026"}],"english":["GA 309/1924-04-14/p045","GA 309/1924-04-14/p046"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":337,"en_words":347,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 309/1924-04-14/p026"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.98,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6020,"original_word_count":6163,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Helen Fox","identified_edition":"AP1997","book_title":"The Roots of Education","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA309/English/AP1997/19240414d01.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.
