If we compare the cultural development in Central Europe with that of the West, so we must say, in the West a culture developed—and this can be seen from the smallest and from the biggest feature of this culture—whose basic character is to be pursued from the British islands over France, Spain, to Sicily, to Italy and to Constantinople. There certain dogmatism developed as a characteristic of the culture, rationalism, a longing for dressing everything one gets in knowledge in plain rationalistic formulae. There developed a desire to see things as reason and sensuousness must see them. There developed the desire to simplify everything. Let us take a case which is obvious to us as supporters of spiritual science namely the arrangement of our human soul in three members: sentient soul, intellectual soul or mind-soul, and consciousness-soul. The human soul can be understood in reality only if one knows that it consists of these three members. Just as little as the light can be understood without recognising the colour nuances in their origin from the light, and without knowing that it is made up of the different colour nuances which we see in the rainbow, on one side the red yellow rays, on the other side the blue, green, violet ones, and if one cannot study the light as a physicist. Just as little somebody can study the human soul what is infinitely more important. For everybody should be a human being and everybody should know the soul. He, who does not feel in his soul that this soul lives in three members: sentient soul, intellectual soul or mind-soul, consciousness-soul, throws everything in the soul in a mess. We see the modern university psychologists getting everything of the soul in a mess, as well as somebody gets the colour nuances of the light simply in a mess. And they imagine themselves particularly learnt in their immense arrogance, in their scientific arrogance throwing everything together in the soul-life, while one can only really recognise the soul if one is able to know this threefolding of the soul actually.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Wenn wir vergleichen, was sich in Mitteleuropa an Kultur entwickelt hatte, mit demjenigen, was im Westen sich entwickelt hat, so müssen wir sagen, im Westen entwickelte sich -— und das kann aus dem kleinsten und aus dem größten Zuge dieser Kultur ersehen werden - eine Kultur, deren Grundcharakter von den britischen Inseln über Frankreich, Spanien, bis nach Sizilien, Italien hinein und bis nach Konstantinopel hinüber zu verfolgen ist. Da entwickelte sich als Grundzug der Kultur ein gewisser Dogmatismus, ein Rationalismus, eine Sehnsucht, all dasjenige, was man an Erkenntnissen bekommt, in einfache rationalistische Formeln zu kleiden. Es entwickelte sich ein Trieb, die Dinge so zu sehen, wie Verstand und Sinnlichkeit sie sehen müssen. Es entwickelte sich der Trieb, alles zu vereinfachen. Nehmen wir einen Fall, der uns als Bekenner der Geisteswissenschaft naheliegen kann, die Gliederung unserer Menschenseele in drei Glieder: Empfindungsseele, Verstandes- oder Gemütsseele und Bewußtseinsseele. Die Menschenseele kann in Wirklichkeit nur begriffen werden, wenn man weiß, daß sie aus diesen drei Gliedern besteht. Ebensowenig wie das Licht begriffen werden kann, ohne die Farbennuancen in ihrem Ursprung aus dem Licht zu erkennen, und ohne daß man weiß, es gliedert sich in die verschiedenen Farbennuancen, die wir im Regenbogen sehen, auf der einen Seite die roten, die gelben Strahlen, auf der andern Seite blau, grün, violett, und wenn man das nicht weiß, kann man nicht als Physiker das Licht studieren, ebensowenig kann man die menschliche Seele studieren, was unendlich wichtiger ist; denn jeder soll ein Mensch sein und jeder soll von der Seele Bescheid wissen. Wer in seiner Seele selbst nicht fühlt, daß diese Seele sich auslebt in den drei Gliedern: Empfindungsseele, Verstandes- oder Gemütsseele, Bewußtseinsseele, der wirft alles in der Seele durcheinander. Wir sehen es an den modernen Universitätspsychologen, wie sie alles in der Seele durcheinanderwerfen, so wie man die Farbennuancen des Lichtes einfach durcheinanderwirft; und sie dünken sich in ihrem ungeheuren Hochmut, ihrem wissenschaftlichen Übermut ganz besonders gelehrt, wenn sie alles im Seelenleben durcheinanderwerfen, während man die Seele wirklich nur erkennen kann, wenn man imstande ist, diese Dreigliederung der Seele wirklich zu wissen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":382,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-07/p006"}],"english":["GA 159/1915-03-07/p009"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":382,"en_words":387,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9799,"original_word_count":9873,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"UNK2013","book_title":"The Mystery of Death","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA159/English/UNK2013/19150307p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
