I have occasionally included philosophical material in the courses of lectures on spiritual science, linking them to specialized fields. I have spoken specifically about Hegel's philosophy and its connection to the present. Today I would like to take a somewhat broader approach and speak in general about the current situation of philosophy and science. Since I have announced the subject to you and the participants in my courses are already aware of the form that such philosophical digressions take, you will not be surprised if I say from the outset that I will not impose any particular constraint on myself with regard to popularity. I would rather evoke the feeling of how, as a strictly scientific person, one can find the relationships between spiritual science and other spiritual endeavors of the present. It is not surprising that there is not much awareness of this in the field of Theosophical literature – something that has to be said in a lecture like today's. As a rule, Theosophical writers are not really philosophers and are not at all familiar with the difficulties that arise for the philosopher when he, with his basic scientific character, wants to approach the field of spiritual science.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Ich habe ein paarmal in die Kurse geisteswissenschaftlicher Vorträge Philosophisches eingefügt, anknüpfend an Spezialgebiete. Ich habe im speziellen über die Philosophie Hegels und ihren Zusammenhang mit der Gegenwart gesprochen. Ich möchte heute das Thema etwas ausgedehnter nehmen und im allgemeinen über die gegenwärtige Lage von Philosophie und Wissenschaft sprechen. Da ich Ihnen das Thema angekündigt habe und die Teilnehmer an meinen Kursen schon über die Gestalt unterrichtet sind, die solche philosophischen Einstreuungen haben, so werden Sie sich nicht wundern, wenn ich von vornherein sage, daß ich mir in bezug auf Popularität keinen besonderen Zwang auferlegen werde. Ich will mehr das Gefühl hervorrufen, wie man als streng wissenschaftlicher Mensch die Beziehungen von der Geisteswissenschaft zu anderen geistigen Bestrebungen der Gegenwart finden kann. Daß schließlich auf dem Gebiet der theosophischen Literatur nicht viel Bewußtsein davon vorhanden ist — was in einem Vortrag, wie der heutige es ist, gesagt werden muß -, das ist ja nicht zu verwundern. In der Regel sind die theosophischen Schriftsteller nicht eigentlich Philosophen und kennen gar nicht jene Schwierigkeiten, die dem Philosophen erwachsen, wenn er mit seinem wissenschaftlichen Grundcharakter an das geisteswissenschaftliche Feld herantreten will.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":247,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/125/1910-08-26/p003"}],"english":["GA 125/1910-08-26/p003"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":247,"en_words":263,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7932,"original_word_count":7595,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Paths and Goals of Spiritual Man","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA125/English/SOL2024/19100826p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
