Er bedeutet die Anschauung, daß der Mensch zunächst der Umfang desjenigen sei, was die materiellen Prozesse seines physischen Leibes ausmacht. Der theoretische Materialismus studierte die physisch-sinnlichen Prozesse des physischen Leibes, und wenn auch zunächst dasjenige, was er in diesem Studium erreicht hat, mehr oder weniger am Anfange ist, so hat er doch die letzten Konsequenzen in bezug auf die Weltanschauungen bereits gezogen. Er hat den Menschen gewissermaßen erklärt als den Zusammenfluß dieser physischen Kräfte, er hat sein Seelisches erklärt als etwas, was nur hervorgerufen wird durch das Zusammenarbeiten dieser physischen Kräfte. Er hat aber auch eingeleitet die Untersuchung der physischen Natur des Menschen. Dieses letztere, die weitere Untersuchung der physischen Natur des Menschen, das ist dasjenige, was bleiben muß. Was das 19. Jahrhundert als Konsequenz aus dieser physischen Untersuchung gezogen hat, das ist das, was eine vorübergehende Erscheinung bleiben muß in der Menschheitsentwickelung. Aber als solche vorübergehende Erscheinung wollen wir sie zunächst einmal begreifen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Erster Vortrag","site_heading":null,"date":"1921-04-02","location":null,"word_count":160,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/204/1921-04-02_02/p006","alignment_confidence":null,"alignment_reason":null,"two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":null,"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/204/1921-04-02_02/p006"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/204/1921-04-02_02/p006","paragraph_aligned":true}],"record":{"record_type":"unknown","scope":"volume","note":"How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here.
