And this other division of labor – even if it is less often emphasized, yes, even if it happens that its advantages are even praised when it is mentioned – this other division of labor, it basically intervenes much more deeply in the individual human being and thus in the whole of human life. And this division of labor, which is of course justified to a certain extent – that is not to be doubted – which above all had to arise necessarily in the historical development of mankind, but this division of labor, because it has not been sufficiently counterbalanced, has in the long run an even more damaging effect on human life as a whole than the one mentioned before. The division of labor has occurred in the field of knowledge and in everything connected with knowledge: it is the division of labor in the field of science. Today, if you go through the usual training as a scientist, you can become absorbed in a specialized science. You then absorb precisely the way of thinking, of imagining certain things, that has come about through the division into individual scientific disciplines and sub-disciplines and sub-sub-disciplines and so on. You don't just externalize, you externalize the soul. You condemn yourself, for example, to take in certain forms of ideas, to immerse yourself in the context of such ideas, and then you say that what fits into this context can be proven with strict exactness; but what is born out of a different context, you say you are not competent to judge.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Und diese andere Teilung der Arbeit - wenn sie auch weniger oft hervorgehoben wird, ja, wenn es auch geschieht, daß ihre Vorteile sogar gerühmt werden, wenn sie genannt wird —, diese andere Teilung der Arbeit, sie greift im Grunde genommen viel tiefer in den einzelnen Menschen und damit in das ganze menschliche Leben ein. Und diese Teilung der Arbeit, die ja in einer gewissen Art auch berechtigt ist — das soll nicht angezweifelt werden -, die vor allen Dingen im historischen Werdegang der Menschheit notwendig heraufkommen mußte, diese Teilung der Arbeit aber, sie wirkt, weil ihr bisher kein genügendes Gegengewicht entgegengehalten wurde, auf die Dauer eigentlich noch schädlicher im ganzen menschlichen Leben als die vorher angeführte. Es ist die Teilung der Arbeit, die auf dem Gebiet des Erkennens eingetreten ist und auf dem Gebiet alles desjenigen, was mit dem Erkennen zusammenhängt: es ist die Teilung der Arbeit auf dem Gebiet der Wissenschaft. Man kann heute, wenn man den üblichen Bildungsweg als Wissenschafter durchmacht, eingesponnen werden in eine Fachwissenschaft. Man nimmt dann gerade diejenige Art und Weise des Denkens auf, des Vorstellens über gewisse Dinge, die durch die Teilung in einzelne wissenschaftliche Disziplinen und Unterdisziplinen und Unter-Unterdisziplinen und so weiter eingetreten ist. Da vereinseitigt man nicht bloß äußerlich, da vereinseitigt man die Seele. Da verurteilt man sich zum Beispiel dazu, gewisse Formen von Vorstellungen aufzunehmen, sich einzuleben in den Zusammenhang solcher Vorstellungen, und dann sagt man von dem, was in diesen Zusammenhang hineinpaßt, es könne streng exakt bewiesen werden; aber das, was aus einem anderen Zusammenhang herausgeboren ist, von dem sagt man, man sei darüber nicht kompetent.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":283,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/73a/1921-01-14/p004"}],"english":["GA 73a/1921-01-14/p004"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":283,"en_words":275,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"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.
