Education (from Latineducare "to bring up, nourish, bring up") originally served to instruct the growing human being in the common values, norms and customs of a given social order, i.e. a collective. Today, in the age of increasing individualisation, this old ideal of education can no longer suffice, as it is already expressed in the basic sociological law formulated by Rudolf Steiner:

„In the beginning of cultural states, humanity strives for the emergence of social associations; at first the interest of the individual is sacrificed to the interest of these associations; further development leads to the liberation of the individual from the interest of the associations and to the free development of the needs and powers of the individual.“ (Lit.:GA 31, p. 251)
