This age, a kind of patriarchal conception of life and existence, was preserved in the Anglo-Saxon world up until the nineteenth century. In particular, this patriarchal life spread out from the soul condition in Scotland. This is the reason why the influence proceeding from the initiation centers in Ireland did not have an effect on the Anglo-Saxon nation. As was mentioned on other occasions, that influence predominantly affected continental Europe. On the British isle itself, the predominant influence originated from initiation truths that came down from the north, from Scotland. These initiation truths then permeated everything else. But there is an element in the whole conception of the human personality that, in a sense, has remained from primordial times. This still has aftereffects; it lingers on even in the way, say, the relationship between Whigs and Tories develops in the British Parliament. The fact is that fundamentally we are not dealing with the difference between liberal and conservative views. Instead, we have to do with two political persuasions for which people today really have no longer any perception at all.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XI","site_heading":"The Shadow Intellect and Consciousness Soul Development","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.

Diese Zeit hat sich in der angelsächsischen Welt erhalten bis ins 19. Jahrhundert herein, eine Art patriarchalischer Lebensauffassung, eine Art patriarchalischen Lebens. Insbesondere hat sich ausgebreitet dieses patriarchalische Leben von der Seelenverfassung in Schottland herein, und es ist aus diesem Grunde, warum gerade auf das angelsächsische Volk nicht etwa dasjenige gewirkt hat, was von den Einweihungsstätten Irlands ausgegangen ist. Das hat ja, wie wir bei anderen Gelegenheiten gehört haben, hauptsächlich im kontinentalen Europa gewirkt. Auf der britischen Insel selber hat hauptsächlich dasjenige gewirkt, was vom Norden, von Schottland herunter auch an Einweihungswahrheiten gekommen ist, und diese Einweihungswahrheiten haben dann das andere durchdrungen. Aber es ist etwas in der ganzen Auffassung der menschlichen Persönlichkeit, das gewissermaßen uralt geblieben ist. Und das wirkt noch nach, das wirkt nach selbst in der Artund Weise, wie, sagen wir, das Verhältnis von Whigs und Tories in dem englischen Parlamente sich entfaltete. Es ist ja so, daß wir es ursprünglich nicht etwa zu tun haben mit dem Gegensatz von liberal und konservativ, sondern wir haben es zu tun mit zwei Schattierungen in politischen Ansichten, für die man heute eigentlich gar keine Empfindungen mehr hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":229,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/204/1921-04-30/p014"}],"english":["GA 204/1921-04-30/p014"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":229,"en_words":222,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5849,"original_word_count":5589,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Maria St. Goar","identified_edition":"AP1987","book_title":"Materialism and the Task of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA204/English/AP1987/19210430p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
