When we reflect on the way in which spiritual science, as here intended, is able to consider and to give answers to the questions of life, we must above all take careful heed to the fact that this spiritual science, and indeed for that matter the whole present and the future time, makes new and different demands on man's powers of comprehension and of thought. He has to think in a different way from what he is accustomed to, in accordance with the habits of thoughts of the immediate past and of the present—especially the habits of thought arising from science and its popularization. You are well aware that all that spiritual science has to say concerning any sphere of life and hence too what it has to say on the social question, indeed especially what it has to say on the social question, is the expression of the results of research—results that have not been obtained on any merely rationalistic or abstract path, but that have been sought and found in the realm of spiritual reality. They can be understood, as we know, with the help of a sound and healthy human intelligence—they can, however, only be discovered when one rises above the ordinary consciousness, such as is comprised within rational thinking, abstract thinking, natural scientific research and so forth—rises above this ordinary consciousness to the Imaginative, Inspired, and Intuitive consciousness. What comes to light on the path of Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition—this it is, formulated in concepts and ideas that are capable of expression, that fills the content of the science which Anthroposophical research has to give.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Wenn darüber nachgedacht wird, wie die hier gemeinte Geisteswissenschaft solche Fragen, die Fragen des Lebens sind, betrachten, beantworten kann, so muß vor allen Dingen Sorgfalt darauf verwendet werden, sich einmal recht klarzumachen, daß diese Geisteswissenschaft, und damit unsere Zeit und die Zukunft überhaupt, andere Anforderungen an die Vorstellungsart, an die Denkart des Menschen stellt, als man es eigentlich nach den Denkgewohnheiten, namentlich nach den aus der Wissenschaft und ihrer Popularisierung hervorgehenden Denkgewohnheiten der unmittelbaren Vergangenheit und auch der Gegenwart gewohnt ist. Sie wissen ja, daß alles, was Geisteswissenschaft auf irgendeinem Gebiete zu sagen hat, also auch auf sozialem Gebiete, und namentlich auf sozialem Gebiete, der Ausdruck von geistigen Forschungstesultaten ist, die nicht auf bloß rationalistischem Wege, auf bloß abstraktem Wege gewonnen werden, sondern die herausgeholt werden aus der geistigen Wirklichkeit. Verstanden werden können sie, das wissen Sie, wenn man einfach den gesunden Menschenverstand auf sie anwendet — aber gefunden können sie nur werden, wenn man aufsteigt von dem gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein, wie es auch das rationelle, das abstrakte Denken, das Naturforschen und so weiter umfaßt, zu dem imaginativen, inspirierten, intuitiven Bewußtsein. Das, was auf dem Wege der Imagination, der Inspiration, der Intuition zutagetritt, das wird formuliert in ausdrucksfähigen Vorstellungen, Ideen, und das bildet den Inhalt der Wissenschaft, welche anthroposophisch orientiertes Forschen zu geben hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":235,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/186/1918-12-14/p003"}],"english":["GA 186/1918-12-14/p004"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":235,"en_words":297,"ratio":1.26,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 186/1918-12-14/p003"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.09,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9153,"original_word_count":8380,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"C52","book_title":"The Fundamental Social Demand of Our Times","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA186/English/C52/19181214p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
