Our habits of thinking and feeling towards the life of education are different. Those who have received the usual education today are then accepted into our higher educational institutions. There, one no longer has to deal with the development of knowledge, willpower, and the abilities of the soul. Basically, one remains within the scientific research at the point of view that inheritance and ordinary education give. Certainly, observation was broadened in an incredible way through experiment and science, but the same powers of cognition were applied that one has once in so-called modern intellectual life. One did not aim at developing one's human being to bring these powers of cognition further. One did not say to oneself: the person who has these powers of knowledge of life or science could stand opposite nature as a five-year-old child stands opposite Shakespeare's works, and he could develop powers and abilities of knowledge within himself that would lead him to a completely different behavior towards nature. But this is said by someone who, in the sense of the anthroposophically oriented spiritual science meant here, wants to become a researcher in the supersensible worlds. This is really about the development of human abilities that initially only exist in the Anlagen, albeit in every human being, but in order for them to be developed, a great deal has to be gone through.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Derjenige, der heute die gewöhnliche Erziehung genossen hat, wird dann in unsere höheren Bildungsanstalten aufgenommen. Da hat man es nicht mehr zu tun mit einer Entwicklung der Erkenntnisse, der Willensfähigkeiten, der Gemütsfähigkeiten der Seele. Da bleibt man im Grunde genommen innerhalb des wissenschaftlichen Forschens auf dem Standpunkte stehen, den einem Vererbung und die gewöhnliche Erziehung geben. Gewiss, in einer unerhörten Weise verbreiterte man durch das Experiment, durch die Wissenschaft die Beobachtung, aber man wandte dieselben Erkenntniskräfte an, die man einmal im sogenannten modernen Geistesleben hat. Man legte nicht die Entwicklung seines Menschen darauf an, diese Erkenntniskräfte weiterzubringen. Man sagte sich nicht: Derjenige, der diese Erkenntniskräfte des Lebens oder der Wissenschaft hat, er könnte gegenüberstehen der Natur wie das fünfjährige Kind dem Bande Shakespeare, und er könnte ausbilden in sich Kräfte, Erkenntnisfähigkeiten, die ihn zu einem ganz anderen Verhalten gegenüber der Natur bringen.
