Consciousness increasingly makes way for what is to develop into judgment and deliberation. The sure insight that was conveyed by images was lost. Man only began with the first facts of calculating and counting and considering. People were clumsy. They became dull in relation to their old consciousness. They could no longer grasp their environment. They lived in an almost inhuman way. But out of this dullness there developed more and more that which, as we have indicated, was present in the first beginnings and which worked in man in such a way that it gradually brought him to judge, brought him to posit out of his ego into the world something that was not there before. Call it power, call it essence. The Greek genius expresses it by saying: Prometheus works in human nature that sense which makes it possible for human nature to process the individual things of life into art productions by means of tools. Prometheus is the great benefactor of mankind who, in the name of love, has given humanity what it will continue to develop ever further. Zeus, that is the disappointment that Prometheus experiences, would only have developed in man what is independent of judgment, independent of calculation and deliberation, what has not led to the arts. Zeus had left man without fire.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"52. The Wrath of Zeus.

Das Bewusstsein macht immer mehr Platz dem, was sich hinentwickeln soll zum Urteil, zum Erwägen. Der sichere Blick, der durch die Bilder vermittelt war, ging verloren. Der Mensch fing erst mit den ersten Tatsachen des Rechnens und Zählens und Erwägens an. Unbehilflich waren die Menschen. Die Menschen wurden stumpf in Bezug auf ihr altes Bewusstsein. Sie konnten nicht mehr ihre Umwelt begreifen. Sie lebten in einer fast unmenschlichen Weise dahin. Aber aus dieser Dumpfheit entwickelte sich dasjenige immer mehr und mehr, was, wie wir angedeutet haben, in den ersten Anfängen vorhanden war und was im Menschen so wirkte, dass es nach und nach ihn dahin brachte, zu urteilen, ihn dahin brachte, aus seinem Ich heraus in die Welt etwas hineinzusetzen, was früher nicht da war. Nennen Sie es Kraft, nennen Sie es Wesenheit. Der griechische Genius drückt es dadurch aus, dass er sagt: Prometheus wirkt in der menschliche Natur jenen Sinn, der es der Menschennatur möglich macht, die einzelnen Dinge des Lebens durch Werkzeuge in Kunstproduktionen zu verarbeiten. Prometheus ist der große Wohltäter der Menschen, der in Liebe der Menschheit das gegeben hat, was sie immer weiter und weiter entwickeln wird. Zeus hätte, das ist die Enttäuschung, die Prometheus erlebt, nur das im Menschen entwickelt, was unabhängig ist von der Urteilskraft, unabhängig vom Rechnen und Erwägen, was nicht zu den Künsten hingeführt hat. Zeus hatte den Menschen ohne Feuer gelassen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":242,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68b/1909-10-21/p051"}],"english":["GA 68b/1909-10-21/p051"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":242,"en_words":230,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9281,"original_word_count":8885,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Circular Flow of Man's Life within the World Of Sense, Soul And Spirit","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA068b/English/SOL2024/19091021p01.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.
