英文說明
  • “Because children’s ability to observe and perceive is unconscious,
    one does not notice how intensely and deeply the impressions coming
    from the surroundings enter their organization—not so much by way
    of various specific senses as through the general ‘sensory being’ of
    the child. It is generally known that the formation of the brain and of
    the nerves is completed by the change of teeth. During the first seven
    years, children’s nerve-and-sense organization, in its plasticity, could
    be likened to soft wax. During this time, not only do children receive
    the finest and most intimate impressions from the surroundings, but
    also, through the working of energy in the nerve-and-sense system,
    everything received unconsciously radiates and flows into the blood
    circulation, into the firmness and reliability of the breathing process,
    into the growth of the tissues, and into the formation of the muscles
    and skeleton. By means of the nerve-and-sense system, the body of
    children becomes like an imprint of the surroundings and, particularly,
    of the morality inherent in them.” —Rudolf Steiner
    (Waldorf Education and Anthroposophy 2, p. 68)

The initial period of childhood is essentially about adapting to and incarnating
on Earth and establishing a provisional balance between the “spiritual” and the
“physical,” between the prenatal cosmic and the earthly factors. During this time,
according to Rudolf Steiner, “all the forces of a child’s organization emanate from
the neurosensory system.... By bringing respiration into harmony with neurosensory
activity, we draw the spirit–soul element into the child’s physical life.”


Peter Selg investigates how children’s early experience of the world begins as an
undifferentiated sensory relationship to their phenomenological environment.
This aspect of a child’s incarnation leads to learning through imitation and to the
process of recognizing “the Other” as a separate entity with which to interact. 


In this cogent work, Peter Selg describes the early stages of childhood from the
perspectives of conventional scientific and spiritual-scientific—anthropological and anthroposophic—research with the purpose of encouraging a new educational
attitude in working with young children. In his numerous references to early
childhood development, this was Rudolf Steiner’s most important and urgent purpose.
