It has often been emphasized, and with good reason, how the division of labor, which is an external phenomenon, has had a damaging effect on the more recent development of humanity. And anyone who takes an unbiased look at the development of social life in modern times cannot help but realize the profound effect this has had on the individual human being, who in earlier times performed tasks to which he was, so to speak, also bound spiritually. Just think of the inner satisfaction that lay in the old crafts, where what one made was transparent in terms of its place in the whole context of the human environment. The door lock that was once made by the craftsman could give him joy because he could see the path it took from his hand to its destination. How different things are today, when the individual person day after day, hour after hour, produces some individual part of a larger whole, without being able to have any interest in what emerges from his hand or from the machine by means of his hand, because he is not directly connected with the path that the thing in question takes from its maker to its final destination. This division of labor, which must, as it were, tie man to something that can never be of interest to him, and which must therefore make man extremely one-sided in his entire life, this division of labor, we will still have to deal with it in particular when we study the social process tomorrow.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Es ist oftmals und gewiß mit Recht betont worden, wie in der neueren Entwicklung der Menschheit schädigend eingegriffen hat dasjenige, was man im äußeren Leben die Teilung der Arbeit nennt. Und wer mit unbefangenen Blicken das soziale Leben in seiner Entfaltung in der neueren Zeit überschaut, der muß sich allerdings sagen, in welch tiefgreifendem Maße es auf die Individualitäten der Menschheit gewirkt hat, daß die Persönlichkeit in früheren Zeiten Dinge verrichtet hat, an die sie gewissermaßen auch seelisch gebunden war. Man denke nur, welch innere Befriedigung im alten Handwerk lag, wo dasjenige, was man verfertigte, durchschaubar war in bezug auf seine Stellung in dem ganzen Zusammenhang der menschlichen Umgebung. Das Türschloß, das ehemals verfertigt worden ist von dem Handwerker, es konnte ihm Freude machen, weil er den Weg überschauen konnte, den es nahm von seiner Hand bis zu seiner Bestimmung. Wie anders sind die Dinge heute, wo der einzelne Mensch Tag für Tag, Stunde um Stunde irgendein einzelnes Glied eines großen Ganzen verfertigt, ohne irgendwie ein Interesse haben zu können an dem, was da aus seiner Hand oder aus der Maschine vermittelst seiner Hand hervorgeht, weil er ja nicht unmittelbar verbunden ist mit dem Weg, den das betreffende Ding durchmacht von seinem Verfertiger bis zu seiner schließlichen Bestimmung. Diese Teilung der menschlichen Arbeit, die den Menschen gewissermaßen fesseln muß an etwas, woran sein Interesse niemals haften kann, die daher den Menschen in seinem ganzen Leben ungeheuer vereinseitigen muß, diese Teilung der Arbeit, sie wird uns ja, wenn wir morgen den sozialen Prozeß studieren werden, noch besonders beschäftigen müssen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":262,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/73a/1921-01-14/p003"}],"english":["GA 73a/1921-01-14/p003"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":262,"en_words":260,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8353,"original_word_count":7905,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Scientific Disciplines and Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA073a/English/SOL2024/19210114p01.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.
