External science presents no complete system of the senses. I shall be speaking to you some time on this subject[^1] and will now say only that it is an illusion to believe that understanding of the sounds of speech is implicit in the sense of hearing, or in the organisation which is supposed by modern physiology to account for hearing. Just as we have a sense of hearing, we have a sense of speech— *a sense for the sounds of speech*. By this is meant the sense which enables us to understand what is perceived in the sounds of speech, just as the auditory sense enables us to perceive tones as such. And if some day we have a really comprehensive physiology, it will be known that this sense for the sounds of speech is entirely analogous to the other, that it can rightly be called a sense on its own. It extends over a larger area within the human organism than several of the other, more localised senses, but for all that it is a definitely circumscribed sense.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Ein Dreifaches bringt uns in den richtigen Zusammenhang insbesondere mit der äußeren Menschenwelt, regelt unseren Wechselverkehr mit der äußeren Menschenwelt: Das ist die Sprache, das ist das Vermögen, die Gedanken unseres Mitmenschen zu verstehen, das ist auch, ein Verständnis, gewissermaßen eine Wahrnehmung zu gewinnen von dem Ich des andern Menschen. Indem man diese drei Dinge sagt: Sprachewahrnehmung, Gedankenwahrnehmung, Ich-Wahrnehmung, spricht man etwas aus, was sich einfach ansieht, was aber für denjenigen, der in ernster, gewissenhafter Weise Erkenntnis anstrebt, keineswegs so einfach ist. Wir sprechen eben gewöhnlich nur von fünf Sinnen, zu denen dann die neuere Physiologie einige weitere, innere fügt. Also wir haben kein vollständiges System der Sinne innerhalb der äußeren Wissenschaft. Nun, über diesen Punkt werde ich noch hier vor Ihnen sprechen. Heute will ich aber nur bemerken, daß es eine Illusion ist, wenn man glaubt, daß mit dem Sinn des Gehörs, mit der Einrichtung des Gehörs und mit demjenigen, was eine heutige Physiologie träumt als Einrichtung des Gehörs, schon gegeben wäre auch das Sprachverständnis. Geradeso wie wir einen Gehörsinn haben, ebenso haben wir einen Sprachsinn. Damit ist nicht gemeint jener Sinn, man nennt ja auch das so, der uns zum Sprechen anleitet, sondern damit ist gemeint jener Sinn, der uns ebenso befähigt, die Sprachwahrnehmung zu verstehen, wie uns der Sinn des Ohres befähigt, die Töne als solche wahrzunehmen. Und wird man einmal eine vollständige Physiologie haben, dann wird man wissen, daß dieser Sprachsinn durchaus analog ist dem andern Sinn, daß er mit Recht als ein eigener Sinn angesprochen werden kann. Er ist nur mehr verbreitet innerhalb der menschlichen Organisation als manche andere, mehr lokalisierte Sinne. Aber er ist ein scharf zu umgrenzender Sinn. Und ebenso haben wir einen Sinn, der sich allerdings fast über unsere ganze Körperlichkeit ausdehnt, zur Wahrnehmung der Gedanken des andern. Denn dasjenige, was wir im Worte wahrnehmen, ist noch nicht der Gedanke. Wir brauchen andere Organe, eine andere Organisation als die bloße Wort-Wahrnehmungsorganisation, wenn wir durch das Wort hindurch verstehen wollen den Gedanken, den uns der andere mitteilt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":342,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/322/1920-10-02/p005"}],"english":["GA 322/1920-10-02/p009","GA 322/1920-10-02/p010","GA 322/1920-10-02/p011"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":342,"en_words":363,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 322/1920-10-02/p005"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6167,"original_word_count":6029,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
