Such individuals demonstrate how hard one must struggle especially when it concerns an impulse to be carried over into mankind's future. Franz Brentano is an extremely interesting personality, but he did not achieve the kind of concepts, ideas, feelings or impulses that work across into future ages. Yet it is interesting that only a few weeks before his death he is said to have given assurances that he would succeed in proving that God exists. To do so was the goal of his lifelong scientific striving. Brentano would not have succeeded, for to prove the existence of God he would have needed spiritual science.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"Franz Brentano's Struggle: Truth, Goodness, and Spiritual Science","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.

Gerade an einer solchen Persönlichkeit sieht man ja, wie gestrebt werden muß, wenn angestrebt werden soll ein Impuls, der tragend ist in die Zukunft der Menschheit hinein. Denn Franz Brentano ist eine außerordentlich interessante Persönlichkeit, aber keine Persönlichkeit, welche Begriffe, Vorstellungen, Empfindungen, Impulse gibt, die in die Zukunft hineintragen könnten. Sehr interessant ist es, daß Franz Brentano versichert haben soll einige Wochen vor seinem Tode: Es werde ihm gelingen, das Dasein Gottes zu beweisen. — Das betrachtete er ja gewissermaßen als das Ziel seines wissenschaftlichen Lebens, das Dasein Gottes zu beweisen. Nun, es wird ihm wohl nicht gelungen sein, denn er hätte sonst vor seinem Tode ein Bekenner der Geisteswissenschaft werden müssen. Beweisbar war das Dasein Gottes noch bis zur Zeit des Eintretens des Mysteriums von Golgatha, bis zu dem von oben heruntergehenden 33. Lebensjahre der Menschheit. Seit jener Zeit, seitdem die Menschheit 32, 31, 30, jetzt bis zum 27. Jahre zurückgegangen ist, ist das Dasein Gottes durch Denken nicht mehr beweisbar, sondern kann nur durch Eindringen in die Geisteswissenschaft gefunden werden. Es ist wirklich nicht irgendwie zu vergleichen mit sonst einem Programm einer Bewegung, wenn von der Geisteswissenschaft als einer Notwendigkeit gesprochen wird, ich habe das oftmals betont, sondern die Tatsachen der Menschheitsentwickelung selber zwingen uns diese Geisteswissenschaft auf. Sie ist selber eine Notwendigkeit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":240,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/176/1917-07-03/p035"}],"english":["GA 176/1917-07-03/p044","GA 176/1917-07-03/p045"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":240,"en_words":218,"ratio":0.91,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8951,"original_word_count":9212,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Rita Stebbing","identified_edition":"AP1987","book_title":"Aspects of Human Evolution","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA176/English/AP1987/19170703p01.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.
