When modern man attempts to build such a bridge, when he tries to realize how, for example, moral ideas — if we take one group out of the sum total of ideas — now not externally but internally real to the views, to the concepts that one develops about the course of the causal natural order, he falls into a kind of world-view dualism, as one could express it spiritually. We have emphasized this again and again. Man tries to build such a bridge, but he does not succeed.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourth Lecture","site_heading":"Bridging Materialism and Spirituality Through 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.

Indem der moderne Mensch versucht, eine solche Brücke zu schlagen, indem er versucht, sich klarzuwerden, wie zum Beispiel die moralischen Ideen - wenn wir aus der Summe der Ideen eine Gruppe herausnehmen -, jetzt nicht äußerlich, sondern innerlich-real zu den Anschauungen, zu den Begriffen sich verhalten, die man entwickelt über den Gang der kausalen Naturordnung, verfällt er in eine Art von Weltanschauungsdualismus, wie man geisteswissenschaftlich das ausdrücken könnte.
