Dreaming about the physical body! It has no inkling that there is something besides the physical body, otherwise it would have to speak of an etheric body, an astral body, and an *I*. It does not want to grasp reality, however, but only what presents itself. The modern physicist or physiologist feels like a somnambulist. He is dreaming and if someone shouts at him, which happens if someone talks to him about spiritual science, he falls down just like a somnambulist who is shouted at. And the impression he has is, “I am now in a void!” He cannot change immediately and has to go on dreaming. Just when he thinks he is most awake in relation to external nature he is dreaming most of all.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"The I, Will, and Human Evolution's Spiritual Crisis","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.

Das erregte Anstoß bei denjenigen, die ganz im heutigen Sinne scharfsinnig philosophieren, wie der ausgezeichnete Philosoph Bolzano in Böhmen in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Wenn man sein Exemplar von Schopenhauer nimmt, sieht man, wie er an den Rand geschrieben hat: «Der reine Wahnsinn!» Natürlich mußte ihm das so als der reine Wahnsinn vorkommen, weil es wirklich wie aus einer Art Delirium konstatiert ist: Da lebt etwas wie Wille draußen in der Natur. - Und wo diese moderne Naturwissenschaft ganz und gar sich treu bleibt, wo sie gewissermaßen ihre Konsequenzen zieht, wohin wird sie denn da gelangen? Nun, sie wird dazu gelangen, bloß über den physischen Leib zu träumen. Daß hinter diesem physischen Leib noch etwas steckt, davon ahnt sie nichts, sonst würde sie von einem Ätherleib sprechen müssen, von einem Astralleib, von einem Ich. Aber sie will nicht das Reale erfassen, sie will nur das, was sich darbietet, erfassen. Der heutige Physiker oder Physiologe kommt sich wirklich vor wie ein Nachtwandler. Er träumt, und wenn man ihn anschreit - und das Anschreien geschieht in diesem Falle dann, wenn man ihm von Geisteswissenschaft sagt -, da plumpst er hin wie der Nachtwandler, der hinplumpst, wenn man ihn anschreit. Da plumpst er hin und ist der Meinung: Jetzt bin ich in dem Nichts darinnen! - Er kann zunächst nicht anders, er muß beim Träumen bleiben. Gerade wenn er glaubt, am wachsten zu sein gegenüber der äußeren Natur, bleibt er am allermeisten beim Träumen. Was wird denn daraus entstehen? Daraus wird entstehen, daß er allmählich jede Möglichkeit verliert, etwas anderes in der Außenwelt zu finden als das, was er von ihr vorstellen kann. Er verliert allmählich die Möglichkeit, auch bei dem, was hinter dem liegt, was er über die Außenwelt vorstellen kann, sich noch etwas vorstellen zu können. Was bleibt ihm denn auch, wenn er den Menschenleib dem Naturforscher überläßt? Er hat den Menschen vor sich. Den sieht er sehr genau, oder er läßt sich von dem Naturforscher oder auf den Kliniken sagen, was für Veränderungen auftreten, wenn dies oder jenes nicht normal geht im Leben. Diesen physischen Leib zergliedert er sehr genau. Aber dabei bleibt er stehen, und gar keine Ahnung hat er, daß dahinter etwas ist. In diesem physischen Leib ist gar nichts vom Ich, vom Willen drinnen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":394,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/166/1916-02-08/p021"}],"english":["GA 166/1916-02-08/p024","GA 166/1916-02-08/p025","GA 166/1916-02-08/p026"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":394,"en_words":385,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 166/1916-02-08/p021"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.98,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9740,"original_word_count":9892,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Pauline Wehrle","identified_edition":"AP1988","book_title":"Necessity and Freedom","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA166/English/AP1988/19160208p01.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.
