By departing from various standpoints, we have gradually struggled through to the conclusion that the fundamental note of this modern life of the spirit is intellectualism, the intellectual, understanding attitude towards the world and man. This does not contradict the fact that in our times the essential character of a world-conception is sought in the observation and elaboration of external phenomena which can be observed through the senses. This, in particular, will be unfolded in the next few days. We may say that intellectualism, as such, has made its first appearance in the course of human evolution during the time comprised within the 300 years prior to the Mystery of Golgotha, and then it has gradually developed to a height which has not been surpassed during the three centuries subsequent to the Mystery of Golgotha. We may say that in the course of about six centuries, humanity has been trained to take up intellectualism. Intellectualism developed from out a spiritual world-conception, which began to ebb at that time, in the course of those six centuries. External documents (I have already called attention to this fact) hardly enable us to study the ebb of this world-conception, because the spreading of Christianity did its utmost to destroy, with but a few exceptions, every gnostic document.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Dual Forms of Cognition in the Middle Ages","site_heading":null,"date":"1921-08-05","location":null,"word_count":231,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/206/1921-08-05/p003","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA206/English/Singles/19210805p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.

Aus den verschiedensten Untergründen heraus haben wir uns ja wohl zu der Überzeugung durchgerungen, daß der Grundton dieses Geisteslebens der Intellektualismus ist, das intellektuelle, verstandesmäßige Sich-Verhalten zur Welt und zum Menschen selbst. Es widerspricht dem nicht, daß in der neuesten Zeit das Wesentliche der gegenwärtigen Weltanschauung in der Beobachtung und in der Verarbeitung der äußeren, mit den Sinnen zu beobachtenden Erscheinungen gesucht wird. Das insbesondere soll sich uns noch in diesen Tagen zeigen. Der Intellektualismus als solcher ist zunächst im Verlaufe der Menschheitsentwickelung hervorgetreten,man kann sagen, in dem Zeitraume, der dreihundert Jahre umfaßt vor dem Mysterium von Golgatha, und er hat sich dann allmählich heraufentwickelt zu einer Höhe, über die er eigentlich nicht mehr weiter fortgeschritten ist in den drei Jahrhunderten nach dem Mysterium von Golgatha. Im Laufe der sechs Jahrhunderte etwa, kann man sagen, ist die Menschheit in diesem Intellektualismus erzogen worden. Und er hat sich herausentwickelt aus einer spirituellen Weltanschauung, aus jener spirituellen Weltanschauung, die in diesem Zeitalter, in diesen sechs Jahrhunderten zum Abfluten kommt. Man kann mit äußeren Dokumenten — darauf machte ich ja schon aufmerksam — das Abfluten dieser Weltanschauung kaum studieren, da die spätere Ausbreitung des Christentums es sich hat angelegen sein lassen, mit wenigen Ausnahmen die gnostischen Urkunden zu vernichten. Diese gnostischen Urkunden, sie sind dasjenige in der menschlichen Weltanschauungsentwickelung, das auf der einen Seite etwas aufgenommen hat aus älteren Traditionen, aus dem, was an alter Weisheit vorhanden war in Asien, in Afrika, in Südeuropa; aus dem, was eben in diesen späteren Zeiten nach den Fähigkeiten der Menschen, die ins übersinnliche Schauen nicht mehr weit hinaufgingen, da noch erreichbar war. Jene ältere Weisheit, die noch ihre letzten Nachklänge hat in den vorsokratischen griechischen Philosophen und die noch etwas hereinscheint in den Ausführungen des Plato, diese Weltanschauung, sie hat nicht mit Intellektualismus gearbeitet. Sie hat ihren Inhalt im wesentlichen, wenn auch auf instinktive Art, so doch durch übersinnliches Schauen gewonnen. Dieses übersinnliche Schauen gibt ja zu gleicher Zeit dasjenige mit, was man nennen könnte eine innere logische Systematik. Man braucht nicht die intellektualistische Verarbeitung, wenn man den Inhalt des übersinnlichen Schauens in sich trägt, denn er hat die logische Struktur durch seine eigene Wesenheit in sich.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":373,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/206/1921-08-05/p003"},{"locus":"GA 206/1921-08-05/p004","passage_number":4,"text":"Aber eben die Fähigkeit, zu diesem übersinnlichen Inhalte zu kommen, die ging allmählich der Menschheit verloren.
