The true art of education will have to seek its sources in spiritual science. It will only be able to do so when, in the sense of the threefold social organism, spiritual life is liberated from the state and economic life. It was only because there was still a gap in the Württemberg Education Act that it was possible to bring the Waldorf school into this gap as an independent school in which pedagogical and artistic principles can really be applied. To accept spiritual science, one does not have to become a spiritual scientist. Just as one can accept modern astronomy or modern chemistry and does not have to become an astronomer or a chemist, but only needs common sense, so one also only needs common sense, if one does not allow oneself to be influenced by prejudices, to accept what the spiritual scientific researcher brings from the depths of the soul to the surface. But when one becomes imbued with what is recognized out of will-borne thoughts and out of thought-borne volition, then one also acquires the necessary enthusiasm for life, which today's sleeping humanity lacks and which must come if things are to improve.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Wirkliche Erziehungskunst, sie wird ihre Quellen suchen müssen in der Geisteswissenschaft. Sie wird es nur können, wenn im Sinne der Dreigliederung des sozialen Organismus das geistige Leben befreit ist vom staatlichen, befreit ist vom wirtschaftlichen Leben. Eigentlich nur dadurch, daß das Württembergische Schulgesetz noch ein Loch hat, in das man hineinschlüpfen konnte, war es möglich, die Waldorfschule in dieses Loch hineinzubringen als eine freie Schule, in der wirklich verfahren werden kann nach pädagogisch-künstlerischen Prinzipien. Um die Geisteswissenschaft anzunehmen, braucht man nicht Geistesforscher zu werden. So wie man die moderne Astronomie oder die moderne Chemie annehmen kann und man nicht Astronom oder Chemiker zu werden braucht, wie man dazu nur den gesunden Menschenverstand nötig hat, so hat man auch nur den gesunden Menschenverstand nötig, wenn man sich nur nicht von Vorurteilen beeinflussen läßt, um dasjenige aufzunehmen, was der geisteswissenschaftliche Forscher aus den Tiefen der Seele an die Oberfläche fördert.
