Those of you who have acquainted yourselves with the new edition of my book, *Riddles of Philosophy in Outline* will have found that four periods in the development of Philosophy are distinguished. I have called the first period “The World-conceptions of the Greek Thinkers”. This lasted from 800 B.C.—in round numbers—or 600 B.C. to the birth of Christ, i.e. into the age of the origin of Christianity. A second period lasted from the rise of Christianity to about 800 – 900 A.D. up to the time of John Scotus Erigena. Then came a third period which I have called “the World-conception of the Middle Ages”, and which lasted from 800, 900 A.D. to 1600 A.D. And then there is the forth period up to our own time; we are just in this period. Eight-hundred year periods have been assigned to the history of philosophy, presented in such a way as was possible in a book meant for a public still quite unacquainted with Spiritual Science.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Perception of the Nature of Thought","site_heading":null,"date":"1915-01-10","location":null,"word_count":197,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/161/1915-01-10/p020","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"M.

Diejenigen der lieben Freunde, welche sich bekannt gemacht haben mit meinem Buche in der neuen Auflage «Die Rätsel der Philosophie, im Umriß dargestellt», werden gefunden haben, daß unterschieden worden sind vier Epochen der philosophischen Entwickelung. Eine erste Epoche, die etwa währt - ich habe sie überschrieben «Die Weltanschauungen der griechischen Denker» - vom Jahre 800, das ist rund genommen, oder 600 vor Christus bis zu Christi Geburt, also bis in die Zeit der Entstehung des Christentums; eine zweite Epoche, welche währt von der Entstehung des Christentums bis etwa 800 bis 900 Jahre nach Christo, also bis zu der Zeit des Johannes Scotus Eriugena; dann eine Zeit, welche ich genannt habe «Die Weltanschauungen im Mittelalter»; eine dritte Epoche, die etwa dauert vom Jahre 800 oder 900 bis zum 16. Jahrhundert nach Christo; und eine vierte Epoche vom 16. Jahrhundert bis auf weiteres. Wir sind grade drinnen in dieser Epoche. Sieben- bis achthundertjährige Epochen in der Philosophiegeschichte sind angegeben worden, so wie ich sie darstellen konnte in diesem Buche für die noch ganz von der Geisteswissenschaft unberührte Welt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":203,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/161/1915-01-10/p019"}],"english":["GA 161/1915-01-10/p020"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":203,"en_words":197,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6461,"original_word_count":6540,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"M.
