One of these philosophers made a really splendid statement, to the following effect. He said: “What we have been hearing could not possibly be a concern of serious science. Serious science has other, very different matters with which to occupy itself. Man can know nothing of what has just been put before us so plausibly; none of it is a concern of human cognition. Moreover we have known it all for a long time.”—In other words, therefore: what we cannot know is something with which we have long been familiar!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IV","site_heading":"Lucifer and Ahriman: Wisdom's Cosmic Struggle","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.

Er sagte: Was wir da gehört haben, das alles ist ja nichts, was man wirklich mit einer ernsten Wissenschaft erringen möchte. Die ernste Wissenschaft muß sich mit ganz anderen Dingen befassen. Das hat nichts zu tun mit dem, was wir wissen wollen, denn wenn man die Sache bei Licht betrachtet, so waren das durchaus nicht neue Wahrheiten, sondern etwas, was uns längst bekannt ist. — Also: Dasjenige, was wir gar nicht wissen wollen und was gar nicht Inhalt unserer Wissenschaft ist, das sei etwas Altbekanntes!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":147,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/191/1919-11-15/p027"}],"english":["GA 191/1919-11-15/p027"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":147,"en_words":136,"ratio":0.93,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.89,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4648,"original_word_count":5223,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Dorothy S.
