And by gathering his last strength, so to speak, to overcome the one-sided world of perception, to arrive at the experience that, together with this external perception, gives full reality, this striving contains what lived out in him in his third epoch, when he wrote his “Zarathustra,” that “Zarathustra” which can be characterized by Nietzsche's statement: Now one has become human, but as a human one is condemned to suffer from the world, for the world gives one a one-sidedness, the world does not fulfill one. One has become human and stands in the world. But what does it mean to be human if the world does not trigger in man that which makes him a being, toward which his deeper powers themselves must strive? — And so the thought pressed out of Nietzsche's soul: Therefore, man must not remain human, for if he remains human, he hollows himself out, he must drown in pain. Man must become superhuman. Man, who cannot communicate with his essence in the world, must overcome himself. There must be a bridge, as there is from worm to man, so from man to superman. Nietzsche wanted to break this human shell, so that from this breaking could emerge what could now live in harmony with the world from the deepest driving forces of humanity. And Zarathustra was to be the teacher and bearer of this superhuman idea.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Third Lecture","site_heading":"Freedom, Knowledge, and Spiritual Science's Answer","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Und indem er gewissermaßen seine letzten Kräfte zusammenfaßte, um hinwegzukommen über die einseitige Wahrnehmungswelt, hinzukommen zu demjenigen Erlebnis, das mit dieser äußeren Wahrnehmung zusammen erst die volle Wirklichkeit gibt, liegt in dieser Bestrebung dasjenige, was sich in ihm auslebte in seiner dritten Epoche, als er seinen «Zarathustra» schrieb, jenen «Zarathustra», der dadurch zu charakterisieren ist, daß Nietzsche sich sagte: Nun ist man Mensch geworden, aber als Mensch ist man verurteilt, an der Welt zu leiden, denn die Welt gibt einem eine Einseitigkeit, die Welt erfüllt einen nicht. Man ist Mensch geworden und steht in der Welt. Aber was heißt Mensch sein, wenn die Welt in dem Menschen nicht das auslöst, was diesen zu einem Wesen macht, nach dem seine tieferen Kräfte selber drängen müssen? — Und so preßte sich aus der Nietzsche-Seele heraus der Gedanke: Also darf der Mensch nicht Mensch bleiben, denn bleibt er Mensch, so höhlt er sich aus, so muß er im Schmerze ertrinken. Der Mensch muß zum Übermenschen werden. Der Mensch, der sich mit seinem Wesen in der Welt nicht verständigen kann, er muß sich überwinden. Es muß eine Brücke geben, wie es sie gibt vom Wurm zum Menschen, so vom Menschen zum Übermenschen. Sprengen wollte Nietzsche diese menschliche Hülle, damit aus diesem Sprengen das werde, was nun in Übereinstimmung mit der Welt aus den tiefsten Triebfedern des Menschlichen heraus leben konnte. Und Zarathustra sollte der Lehrer und Träger dieser Übermenschen-Idee sein.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":273,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/78/1921-08-31/p026"}],"english":["GA 78/1921-08-31/p026"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":273,"en_words":266,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5586,"original_word_count":5401,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"Anthroposophy: Its Roots of Knowledge and Fruits of Life","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA078/English/SOL2025/19210831p01.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.
