Berdiayeff simply does not know what is now germinating in the Russian Folk Soul, which comes to expression for this very reason in a frequently tumultuous and distorted form. He does not know that in this conception of Truth from the standpoint of life, crooked as it may be today, there lies a real seed for the conception of the future. In the future it will right itself, of that we may be sure. When once what is preparing today as a germinating seed will have unfolded, I mean the directing of all human evolution towards the spiritual life, then indeed will that which men call the “Truth” today have an altogether different form. Today I have drawn your attention to some peculiar facts in this respect. This Truth, my dear friends, will among other things bring to man's consciousness what the men of today cannot realize, that the logic of facts, the logic of reality, the logic of things seen is a very different thing from the mere logic of concepts. And this transformed conception of the Truth will have some other interesting qualities. That is the one thing which you see emerging in Berdiayeff's essay. It is remarkable enough, for it shows how little such a learned author lives in the real trend and meaning of the evolution of our time, which he might well perceive in his own nation above all, but cannot recognize, laboring as he does under this prejudice.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Berdjajew weiß eben nicht, daß dasjenige, was jetzt in der russischen Volksseele keimhaft ist, gerade deshalb vielfach tumultuarisch und karikiert zum Ausdrucke kommt. In dieser Auffassung der Wahrheit vom Gesichtspunkte des Lebens, die eben heute schief ist, liegt aber auch ein Keim für eine Zukunftsauffassung. In der Zukunft wird sich die Sache schon richtigstellen. Denn wenn erst gediehen sein wird, was sich heute keimhaft vorbereitet: das Hingelenktsein der menschlichen Entwickelung zum Geistselbst, dann wird in der Tat das, was man heute Wahrheit nennt, eine ganz andere Gestalt haben. Und ich habe Sie heute auf einige Eigentümlichkeiten aufmerksam gemacht. Diese Wahrheit wird dem Menschen zum Beispiel zum Bewußtsein bringen - was der heutige Mensch gar nicht einsehen kann -, daß die Tatsachenlogik, die Wirklichkeitslogik, die Anschauungslogik eine andere ist als die bloße Begriffslogik. Und noch andere Rigenschaften wird diese umgeformte Wahrheitsvorstellung haben. Das ist das eine, was Sie bei Berdjajew auftreten sehen und was sehr merkwürdig ist, weil es zeigt, wie wenig solch ein Schriftsteller in dem steckt, was der eigentliche Sinn der Evolution unserer Zeit ist, den er sehr gut gerade bei seinem Volk wahrnehmen könnte, aber unter diesem Vorurteil nicht anerkennen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":229,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/186/1918-12-14/p013"}],"english":["GA 186/1918-12-14/p015"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":229,"en_words":280,"ratio":1.22,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 186/1918-12-14/p013"]},"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.
