This is the reverse of what is able to lead men to a sound attitude of soul. Yes, my dear friends, it is very easy to speak thus but when it stops there and no investigation is made into the conditions in question, it is impossible to arrive at any sound solution for the present time, much less for the near future. For if you take any world outlook materialist in feeling and ask yourself: where does it come from historically? If you really wish to get to the root of this, in the end you will be unable to help saying that fundamentally it comes from the way in which Christianity has been preached during these 1900 years by the various Christian churches. Those whose insight goes deeper know that Haeckel's doctrine would have been impossible without the preceding Christianity of the churches. There are people who have remained at the standpoint of the church, as it was, let us say, in the Middle Ages; they continue to uphold the ideas professed by the church in medieaval times. Others have developed these ideas. And among those who have developed them is, for instance, Ernst Haeckel. He is a true child of the conceptions fostered through the centuries by the various churches. This has not arisen outside the church; in the fullest sense it has originated entirely within the teachings of the church itself. Certainly the connections of these things will only be recognised aright if one is endowed by Spiritual Science with a little insight to give one clear vision.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Ja, man kann wohl so sprechen, aber wenn man bei dieser Aussage bleibt und nicht die Zusammenhänge untersucht, die dabei in Betracht kommen, dann wird man unmöglich zu etwas kommen können, was der Gegenwart und noch weniger der nächsten Zukunft heilsam sein kann. Denn wenn Sie irgendeine materialistisch gefärbte Weltanschauungsempfindung aufnehmen und sich fragen: Woher kommt sie historisch? — dann werden Sie, wenn Sie wirklich Einsicht gewinnen wollen, gar nicht umhin können, sich zuletzt doch zu sagen: sie kommt ja im Grunde gerade aus der Art, das Christentum zu vertreten, wie dieses Christentum tausendneunhundert Jahre lang von den verschiedenen Konfessionen vertreten worden ist. Der Tiefersehende weiß, daß Haeckelismus ohne das vorangehende Christentum der Kirche gar nicht möglich gewesen wäre. Es gibt Leute, die sind auf dem Standpunkt der Kirche zurückgeblieben, sagen wir, wie sie im Mittelalter war; die vertreten heute noch immer die Gedanken, die die Kirche im Mittelalter gehabt hat. Andere haben diese Gedanken weitergebildet. Und diejenigen, die sie weitergebildet haben, unter denen ist zum Beispiel Ernst FHaeckel. Er ist ein gerader Abkömmling der durch die verschiedenen Kirchen jahrhundertelang gepflogenen Vorstellungen. Das ist nicht außerhalb der Kirche entstanden, das ist im tieferen Sinne durchaus innerhalb der Kirchenlehren entstandene Wahrheit. Allerdings, richtig die Zusammenhänge erkennen wird man erst dann, wenn man sich ein wenig befruchtet mit geisteswissenschaftlichen Einsichten, um diese Dinge ins Auge zu fassen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":275,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/188/1919-01-03/p009"}],"english":["GA 188/1919-01-03/p008"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":275,"en_words":295,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8259,"original_word_count":7890,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Violet E.
