This causes an unconscious longing for these thoughts to arise in human beings which they cannot satisfy. In other words there are human beings whose forefathers paid no attention to such a thinker and allowed him to die unrecognized. He had produced thoughts which ought to be developed further, but because he protects them he prevents them being reached by human beings and this causes an undefined longing for these thoughts. Because the longing cannot be satisfied it results in a feeling of deep inner dissatisfaction. In earlier times there were many who experienced such unsatisfied longing. In our time it is present to a particularly high degree because the last third of the 19th Century produced a great number of highly significant thinkers to whom the world paid no attention, thus robbing them of their spiritual achievements.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Daher entsteht für solche Gedanken ein unbewußtes Sehnen, das aber nicht befriedigt werden kann, ein Zustand, der sich so beschreiben läßt: Da sind Menschen, ihre Vorfahren haben einen solchen Denker einsam sterben lassen, um den sie sich nicht gekümmert haben. Der hat Gedanken gehabt, die sich hätten weiterentwickeln sollen, aber er hütet sie, läßt sie nicht unter die Menschen kommen, die Menschen spüren sie als unbestimmte Sehnsucht, sie können nicht zu ihnen kommen; dadurch entsteht viel Unbefriedigendes in solchen Menschen. In manchem Zeitalter, und insbesondere in unserem Zeitalter leben Menschen, zahlreiche Menschen, in unbefriedigter Sehnsucht nach Gedanken, zu denen sie nicht kommen können, weil diese Gedanken von unberücksichtigt gebliebenen Denkern behütet werden. Nun leben wir gerade in einem Zeitalter, wo das in einem hohen Grade der Fall ist, und wo es daher begreiflich ist, daß viel Unbefriedigtes da sein muß, einfach aus dem Grunde, weil im letzten Drittel des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts solcher Raubbau getrieben worden ist, eine ganze Anzahl hochsinniger Denker gelebt haben, um die sich die Welt nicht gekümmert hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":210,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/176/1917-07-31/p015"}],"english":["GA 176/1917-07-31/p020"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":210,"en_words":168,"ratio":0.8,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.92,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6890,"original_word_count":7508,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Rita Stebbing","identified_edition":"AP1985","book_title":"The Karma of Materialism","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA176/English/AP1985/19170731p01.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
