Nevertheless, there is a possibility even at the present time to experience the difference between these two kinds of philosophy. Take up any book on philosophy, any presentation of some Western philosophical system. How has anything that can be regarded as a serious philosophy been achieved? If you could see into the workroom of anyone who can be regarded today as a serious philosopher you would see how it is through the power of logical thinking and logical judgment that such systems are created, and each is built up step by step. But those who work out their philosophies in this way are quite unable to understand that their kind of conceptual weaving can also to a certain extent be perceived clairvoyantly, that a clairvoyant can see it in front of him through his clairvoyance. If therefore, instead of passing through all the individual stages of thought we were to survey clairvoyantly, in one fell swoop so to speak, a number of philosophical theses that have been woven together by the sweat of one's brow, concept by concept, then we shall experience much difficulty in making ourselves understood. Yet the concepts of the Vedanta philosophy are concepts of this kind, and they were seen clairvoyantly. They were not acquired by the sweat of the brow, like the concepts of European philosophers, but were brought down clairvoyantly. They are just the last remnants of the ancient clairvoyance, diluted into abstract concepts. Or else they are the first fragile conquests of Yoga in the super-sensible worlds.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Christ's Inner Monologue and the Mystery of Golgotha","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Nehmen Sie irgendein Philosophiebuch, irgendeine Darstellung eines philosophischen Systems der westlichen Philosophie in die Hand. Was heute ernsthaft als Philosophie bezeichnet werden kann, wie ist es meistens errungen? Wenn Sie in die Werkstätte eines Menschen, der als ernster Philosoph bezeichnet werden kann, hineinschauen, so können Sie sehen, wie durch Anstrengung der logischen Urteilskraft, des logischen Denkens diese Systeme gewonnen sind. Das alles ist nach und nach gebildet. Und die, welche so Philosophie machen, können eigentlich nicht verstehen, daß man das, was sie da von Begriff zu Begriff weben, in gewisser Beziehung auch hellseherisch schauen kann, daß man das hellseherisch vor sich hat. Daher ein so schwieriges Sichverständlichmachen, wenn man, man möchte sagen, mit einem Schlage gewisse Philosopheme, die sonst «im Schweiße des Angesichts» von Idee zu Idee gewoben werden, hellseherisch überschaut und nicht nötig hat, alle die einzelnen Gedankenschritte zu machen. So gleichsam hellseherisch geschaute Begriffe sind die Begriffe der Vedantaphilosophie. Sie sind nicht im Schweiße des Angesichts nach dem Beispiel der europäischen Philosophen erworben, sondern hellseherisch heruntergebracht, sind eben die letzten Überreste, die in die abstrakten Begriffe hinein verdünnten Reste des alten Hellsehens oder die ersten durch Yoga errungenen, noch dünnen Eroberungen in der übersinnlichen Welt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":217,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/139/1912-09-21/p024"}],"english":["GA 139/1912-09-21/p022"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":217,"en_words":266,"ratio":1.23,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.13,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7419,"original_word_count":6585,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Conrad Mainzer","identified_edition":"AP1986","book_title":"The Gospel of St. Mark","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA139/English/AP1986/19120921p01.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.
