Only recently, a truly remarkable thinker said something about the latter that basically cannot be disputed. If you let your eyes wander without prejudice over what is being brought to light in Germany and other countries, you can see that what this thinker said is really true, namely that today we have metaphysics without transcendental conviction, a theory of knowledge without objective meaning, a logic without content, a psychology without soul, an ethics without commitment, and a religion without a rational basis. That is one characteristic of our time, as perceived by a not insignificant contemporary philosopher. As I said, I would like to let the facts speak, let what is happening speak. Whether it must be said that he does not feel like embarking on the spiritual scientific path, or whether he cannot do so according to his thought suggestions, may be left open — but it must be said that someone who is fully immersed in the hustle and bustle of contemporary life, but who cannot find the way out of the element of thought to a supersensible content, can think like that. Certain intellectual prerequisites must be fulfilled, which are actually found today not in any other philosophy but in what I have attempted to establish in my book on 'Truth and Science', in what is given in 'Philosophy of Freedom' and in Dr. Unger's carefully developed thought operations. There, in the field of spiritual science, the approach to an active philosophy is given, which avoids mixing theosophy into its explanations, which wants to be strictly philosophical and which, precisely because of this strict scientific approach, will fulfill its task in the future.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Ein wirklich nicht unbeträchtlicher Denker hat erst vor kurzem von letzterer etwas gesagt, was im Grunde gar nicht angefochten werden kann. Wenn man unbefangen den Blick auf das schweifen läßt, was in Deutschland und anderen Ländern zutage gefördert wird, dann sieht man, daß es sich wirklich bewahrheitet, was dieser Denker gesagt hat, nämlich: wir hätten heute eine Metaphysik ohne transzendentale Überzeugung, eine Erkenntnistheorie ohne objektive Bedeutung, eine Logik ohne Inhalt, eine Psychologie ohne Seele, eine Ethik ohne Verbindlichkeit und eine Religion ohne Vernunftgrundlage. — Das ist eine Charakteristik unserer Zeit aus der unmittelbaren Empfindung eines nicht unbeträchtlichen Philosophen der Gegenwart. Wie gesagt, ich möchte Tatsachen sprechen lassen, sprechen lassen das, was geschieht. Ob gesagt werden muß, daß er nicht Lust hat, sich auf den geisteswissenschaftlichen Weg zu begeben, oder ob er es nach seinen Gedankensuggestionen nicht kann, mag dahingestellt bleiben — aber gesagt werden muß, daß so derjenige denken kann, der voll im zeitgenössischen Getriebe steht, der aber aus dem Element des Denkens heraus nicht den Ausweg finden kann zu einem übersinnlichen Inhalt. Da müssen gewisse denkerische Voraussetzungen erfüllt werden, wie sie sich eigentlich heute in keiner anderen Philosophie finden als in dem, was ich versuchte in meinem Buch über «Wahrheit und Wissenschaft» zu begründen, in dem, was in der «Philosophie der Freiheit» gegeben ist und in den sorgfältig ausgeführten Gedankenoperatiönen Dr. Ungers. Da ist aus dem geisteswissenschaftlichen Feld heraus der Ansatz zu einer tatkräftigen Philosophie gegeben, welche es vermeidet, überall das Theosophische hineinzumischen in ihre Ausführungen, welche streng philosophisch sein will und gerade durch diese strenge Wissenschaftlichkeit ihre Aufgabe in die Zukunft hinein erfüllen wird.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":318,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/125/1910-08-26/p013"}],"english":["GA 125/1910-08-26/p013"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":318,"en_words":329,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","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.
