We have a twofold duty. On the one hand, we must study the physical plane upon which the great world powers have not placed us fortuitously, and we must really identify ourselves with it by renunciative thinking. On the other hand, we have already arrived at the stage of human development at which we are aware that we can no longer cope with the physical plane without the aid of occult research. Science must inevitably err without occult science as a guide to point the lines of approach to all that can be learned through physical research. After the establishment of physical research at the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, this necessarily remained the center of interest; now the time is ripe for another sort of research to intervene and indicate the lines of approach. If the occultist will not only learn this but count it among his duties, he will have fulfilled the demands of our time, namely, to spread the conviction that we base firmly on the physical plane. Certainly anyone who has grasped the idea of the astral current flowing in from the future can be depended upon in this matter. That this is true I have already proved to you by a fact.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Franz Brentano hat sich an die psychologischen Probleme herangemacht in den sechziger, siebziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts. Und obwohl eigentlich das, was in seiner Psychologie steht, ein scholastisches Spintisieren ist, so lebt doch darin etwas, was einem so vorkommt wie die ersten kindlichen Schritte, die wir jetzt weitergehen sollen. So ist zum Beispiel die Lehre vom Begehren und vom Fühlen und auch was er über das Urteilen sagt, schief; aber die Tendenz ist eine solche, die merkwürdig richtige Linien hätte nehmen können, wenn nicht eine absolute Ignoranz in bezug auf alle okkulten Einschläge dagewesen wäre. Da ist sozusagen der fähigste Psychologe auf den physischen Plan getreten. Er hat auch den ersten Band seiner «Psychologie» erscheinen lassen im Frühjahr 1874, mit dem Versprechen, daß im Herbst der zweite Band folgen werde. Aber dieser zweite Band ist bis heute noch nicht erschienen. Es gibt nur den ersten Band. Warum ist das? In den psychosophischen Vorträgen können Sie sich die Antwort suchen: Franz Brentano mußte steckenbleiben, konnte überhaupt nicht weiter. Er hat in einer ganz netten Weise abgegrenzt, was die nächsten Abschnitte hätten bringen sollen. Er hat sogar einen . Ausblick geben wollen von dem Ich aus auf das Geistesleben und von da in die Unsterblichkeit. Das ist alles abgesteckt. Aber er ist steckengeblieben! Denn es hätte ausgeführt werden müssen, indem von der andern Seite eingezogen wäre der Strom des okkulten Forschens, so daß beobachtet worden wäre der Strom der Seelenphänomene von der Seite der okkulten Forschung aus.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":322,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/115/1910-11-04/p050"}],"english":["GA 115/1910-11-04/p054"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":322,"en_words":262,"ratio":0.81,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.69,"band":"short","note":"This witness is materially shorter than the original (below 75%).
