Leonardo da Vinci: The Vitruvian Man, Proportion Study after Vitruvius, 1492

Man (Sanskritमनुष Manushya; Hebrewאֱנוֹשׁ Enosch; Greekἄνθρωπος anthropos, from anti and tropos, literally: "the one turned towards"; GermanMensch) is, from a spiritual-scientific point of view, the general term for that cosmic stage of evolution on which a being develops its I and its self-awareness, and in doing so rises from being a mere creature to becoming a creator. We are now called on Earth to attain this level of development. Other beings have reached this stage of evolution before us, and others will follow after us.
