We must forthwith exclude everything that does not belong to the concepts. Only SEIN AND NICHTSEIN belong thereto. Wherefore a strictly trained thinker is so hard to understand. When a concept is spoken of, one ought really just as little to think in connection with [it] of something diverse from it as in the case of the concept ‘triangle’.

Den nächsten Begriff findet man nun dadurch, daß man diese beiden Begriffe miteinander verbindet. Wenn man «Sein» und «Nichtsein» miteinander verbindet, entsteht das «Werden». Das «Werden» ist ein reicherer Begriff, der die beiden anderen schon in sich enthält. «Werden» ist ein fortwährender Übergang von Nichtsein zu Sein, das Vorhergehende vergeht, das Folgende entsteht. So haben Sie in dem Begriff «Werden» das Spiel der beiden Begriffe «Sein» und «Nichts». Von dem Begriff des Werdens ausgehend kommen Sie dann zu dem Begriff «Dasein». Es ist das, was als das Nächste an das Werden sich anschließt: das Starrwerden des Werdens ist das «Dasein», ein abgeschlossenes Werden. Dem «Dasein» muß ein Werden vorangehen. Was haben wir nun davon, wenn wir solche vier Begriffe innerlich uns ausgestaltet und sie so gewonnen haben? Wir haben sehr viel davon. Wir denken nun bei dem Begriff des Werdens nichts anderes, als was wir hier als Inhalt das Begriffs kennengelernt haben. Wir müssen alles ausschließen, was nicht zu dem Begriff gehört. Wer richtig dialektisch geschult ist, der hat, wenn von «Werden» gesprochen wird, in diesem Begriff nichts anderes als das Ineinanderspielen von «Sein» und «Nichts». Wenn der dialektisch geschulte Denker vom «Werden» spricht, so ist das ein ebenso bestimmter Begriff, wie wenn er von dem Begriff «Dreieck» spricht. So ist die Dialektik gerade die wunderbarste Zucht des Denkens.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":232,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/108/1908-11-13/p028"}],"english":["GA 108/1908-11-13/p020","GA 108/1908-11-13/p021"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":232,"en_words":212,"ratio":0.91,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 108/1908-11-13/p028"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.72,"band":"short","note":"This witness is materially shorter than the original (below 75%).
