When Fichte delivered a series of lectures in which he sought to transform the way his people were brought up - a transformation such as Pestalozzi had called forth, only more universally - Fichte said that there were certainly many people who could not go along with the idea that one could, as it were, reshape and revive the human race through such thoughts. Such people cling to the old that they can imagine, Fichte said. And now he sought a comparison to express very clearly what they have learned and to which they cling. Fichte sought a comparison, and this comparison is very strange. I will read it to you.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Second Lecture","site_heading":"The Four Members and Cosmic-Astral Correspondences","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.

Als Fichte eine Anzahl von Reden hielt, in denen er die Erziehungsweise seines Volkes umzugestalten suchte - eine solche Umgestaltung, wie Pestalozzi sie hervorgerufen hat, nur universeller -, da sagte Fichte, es seien gewiß viele Menschen, welche nicht mitkönnen mit der Vorstellung, daß man durch solche Gedanken gewissermaßen das Menschengeschlecht neugestalten und neubeleben könne. Solche Menschen haften an dem Alten, das sie sich vorstellen können, meinte Fichte. Und nun suchte er nach einem Vergleich, um das, was sie gelernt haben und an dem sie haften, so recht klar auszudrücken. Nach einem Vergleich suchte Fichte, und sehr merkwürdig ist dieser Vergleich.
