The parental vocation is the highest in education. And on this occasion, it is particularly interesting to see the reasons Herbert Spencer gives for this view. He says that the highest goal in human life is to produce the next generation, the offspring. Therefore, the highest goal of education is to raise the next generation. No criticism of Herbert Spencer's assertion is intended here. One can make this claim if one is completely on the ground that wants to scientifically justify more or less everything that is valid in human life, only on the ground of external sensory perception, external natural science.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Anthroposophy and the Riddles of the Soul","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-01-26","location":null,"word_count":143,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/80a/1922-01-26/p013","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Essence of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA080a/English/SOL2024/19220126p01.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.

Der Elternberuf sei das Höchste im Erziehungswesen. Und bei dieser Gelegenheit ist es besonders interessant, welche Begründung Herbert Spencer für diese seine Anschauung gibt. Er sagt, das höchste Ziel im menschlichen Leben sei die Hervorbringung der nächsten Generation, der Nachkommenschaft. Daher sei auch die Heranziehung der Nachkommenschaft das höchste Ziel des Erziehungswesens. Es soll jetzt keine Kritik an dieser Behauptung Herbert Spencers geübt werden.
