Aber interessant ist es gerade zu hören, wie ein ausgezeichneter Denker der Gegenwart, aber ein solcher, der da glaubt, mit naturwissenschaftlichen Vorstellungen alles erschöpfen zu können, über das Ich redet. Es sind Vorträge, die wiedergegeben werden, deshalb ist die Sache in Vortragsform vorgebracht. Ziehen sagt: «Es wird Ihnen vielleicht auffallen, daß die mit dem kurzen kleinen Wort Ich bezeichnete Ich-Vorstellung ein so komplexes dreigliedriges Gebilde sein soll, an welchem tausend und abertausend Teilvorstellungen beteiligt sein sollen. Aber ich bitte Sie zu erwägen: das Wort ist zwar kurz, aber daß sein Vorstellungsinhalt sehr komplex sein muß, geht schon daraus hervor, daß jeder von Ihnen in Verlegenheit geraten wird, wenn er den Denkinhalt seiner sogenannten Ich-Vorstellung angeben soll.»","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":173,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/179/1917-12-17/p011"}],"english":["GA 179/1917-12-17/p009","GA 179/1917-12-17/p010"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":173,"en_words":165,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7509,"original_word_count":7160,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"ANS1934","book_title":"Historical Necessity and Freewill","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA179/English/ANS1934/19171217p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
