It arrived at the summit in the ideals of Lessing, Schelling, Hegel, and Grimm. However, everything that already lived there lived more in a striving for idealism. Now this must gain more life, more concrete life. The profound ideas of German idealism have to get contents from spirituality, by which they are raised only from mere ideas to living beings of the spiritual world. Then we can familiarise ourselves in this spiritual world. The significance of the Central European task has now to inspire German hearts, and also the consciousness of what is to be defended in all directions, to the sides where the Midgard Snake firmly closes the circle. It is our task in particular because we are on the ground of spiritual science to look at the present events in such a higher sense. We cannot take the most internal impulse of our spiritual science seriously enough if we do not familiarise ourselves with such an impersonal view of the spiritual-scientific striving if we do not feel how this spiritual-scientific striving is connected in every individual human being with the whole Central European striving as it must be united with the whole substantiality of this Central European striving. We have to realise that something of what we have in mind exists only in the germ, however, that the Central European culture has the vocation to let unfold the germs to blossoms and fruits.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Sie hat eine Höhe erreicht in den Idealen der Lessing, Schelling, Hegel, Fichte, Goethe, Grimm. Aber all das, was da schon lebte, lebte mehr in einem Streben nach Idealismus. Das muß nun weiteres Leben gewinnen, konkreteres Leben gewinnen. Die tiefen Ideen des deutschen Idealismus müssen Inhalt bekommen durch das, was aus dem Spirituellen kommen kann, und wodurch sie erst aus bloßen Ideen zu lebendigen Wesen der geistigen Welt erhoben werden, durch die wir dann uns selbst in diese geistige Welt hineinfinden können. Die Größe der mitteleuropäischen Aufgabe ist es, die jetzt deutsche Herzen beseelen muß, und das Bewußtsein davon, was zu verteidigen ist nach allen Seiten hin, nach den Seiten hin, wo die Midgardschlange den Kreis fest umschlossen hält. Es ziemt insbesondere uns, die wir auf dem Boden der Geisteswissenschaft stehen, in einem solch höheren Sinne das zu betrachten, was heute sich wirklich vollzieht. Und wir können auch den innersten Impuls unserer Geisteswissenschaft nicht ernst genug nehmen, wenn wir uns nicht hineinfinden in eine solch unpersönliche Auffassung des geisteswissenschaftlichen Strebens, wenn wir nicht fühlen, wie dieses geisteswissenschaftliche Streben in jedem einzelnen verbunden ist mit dem gesamten mitteleuropäischen Streben, wie es verbunden sein muß mit der ganzen Substantialität dieses mitteleuropäischen Strebens. Wir müssen uns klar sein darüber, daß manches von dem, was uns vorschweben muß, erst noch im Keim vorhanden ist, daß aber gerade die mitteleuropäische Kultur dazu berufen ist, die Keime zu Blüten und zu Früchten sich entfalten zu lassen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":253,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-07/p017"}],"english":["GA 159/1915-03-07/p021"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":253,"en_words":249,"ratio":0.98,"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.
