For behind the scenes of existence it is the very same spirits who instill into men's consciousness philosophies after the style of Avenarius or Mach, and who instill once more into men's consciousness that which leads on to Bolshevism for example. Only in Logic you cannot derive the one thing from the other. But the Reality of Life performs this derivation. I beg you inscribe this deep into your hearts, for here too you will have something of what I am constantly emphasizing. It is needful to us to find the transition from the mere tangle of logical ideas, within which the people of today in their illusions imagine the realities of life to be imbued, to the true reality. If we look at the symptoms, and know how to value them, the thing does indeed become far more earnest. Here I will draw your attention to something to which another who is not a Spiritual Scientist will not pay so much attention; for he will take it more as a phrase, as something more or less indifferent. Mach, you see, who is a Positivist, and a radical one at that, comes to the idea that all things are really sensations. This doctrine, which young Adler also expounded in his lectures at Zurich, whereby he will undoubtedly have gained many adherents for himself, and for Mach and for Avenarius—this doctrine declares that everything is sensation, and that we are quite unjustified in distinguishing the physical from the psychical. The table outside us is physical and psychical in precisely the same sense as my ideas are physical and psychical: and we only have concepts for the sake of mental economy.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Denn hinter den Kulissen des Daseins sind es dieselben Geister, welche Avenariussche oder Machsche Philosophie hereinträufeln in die menschlichen Bewußtseine, und welche das in die menschlichen Bewußtseine hineinträufeln, was zum Beispiel zum Bolschewismus führt. Nur kann man nicht logisch das eine von dem andern ableiten. Aber die Wirklichkeit leitet es ab. Die ist etwas, was ich Sie bitte, sich tief in Ihre Herzen einzuschreiben, damit Sie auch darinnen etwas haben von dem, was ich immer wieder betone. Es ist heute einmal vonnöten, daß man von dem bloßen logischen Gestrüppe, von dem man heute illusionär die Wirklichkeiten durchsetzt denkt, zu der wahren Wirklichkeit den Übergang findet. Sieht man auf Symptome, weiß man Symptome zu werten, dann wird die Sache vielleicht doch manchmal ernster. Da will ich Sie auf etwas hinweisen, auf das der andere, der nicht Geisteswissenschafter ist, nicht so aufmerksam wird, weil er es mehr als Phrase, als etwas Gleichgültiges nimmt. Sehen Sie, Mach, der Positivist, aber radikaler Positivist ist, er kommt darauf, daß eigentlich alles Empfindung ist. Die Lehre, die auch der junge Adler als Privatdozent in Zürich vorgetragen hat, die sicher viele für ihn, für Mach und für Avenarius eingenommen hat, besagt, daß alles Empfindung ist, daß wir keine Berechtigung haben, Physisches und Psychisches zu unterscheiden. Draußen der Tisch ist genau in demselben Sinne physisch-psychisch, wie meine Vorstellungen physisch- psychisch sind, und Begriffe sind bloß zur Ökonomie da.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":267,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/186/1918-12-14/p019"}],"english":["GA 186/1918-12-14/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":267,"en_words":321,"ratio":1.2,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"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.
