The gnosis of that time, with its still ample store of wisdom, which continued to exist even in the post-Christian centuries, had an intellectual way of grasping the old spiritual contents. These can no longer be experienced. What the Gnostics set forth, contains, as it were, a shadow-outline of the old spiritual wisdom. We can see that humanity gradually loses altogether the possibility of connecting a meaning with what had once been given to man in a super-sensible form. This stage, of not being able to connect any meaning with the old spiritual wisdom, reaches its climax in the fourth century of our era. Particularly a man like Augustine clearly reveals the struggle after a world-conception from out the very depths of the human soul, but it is impossible for him to reach a world-conception which is based on spirituality, so that he finally accepts what the Catholic Church presents to him in the form of dogmas.","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":170,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/206/1921-08-05/p007","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.

Aber in der damals noch reichlich vorhandenen Gnostik, die sich ja bis in die nachchristlichen Jahrhunderte hinein fortgepflanzt hat, ist ein intellektualistisches Erfassen des alten spirituellen, aber nicht mehr erlebten Inhaltes vorhanden. Man hat gewissermaßen ein Schattenbild der alten spirituellen Weisheit in demjenigen, was die Gnostiker darstellen. Und im Grunde kann man sehen, wie nach und nach der Menschheit überhaupt die Möglichkeit verlorengeht, noch einen Sinn zu verbinden mit dem, was einmal übersinnlich gegeben war. Vollständig ist dieser Punkt, daß man mit dem alten Spirituellen keinen Sinn mehr verbinden kann, eben im 4. nachchristlichen Jahrhunderte erreicht. Und gerade bei einem solchen Geiste wie Augustinus zeigt sich im eminentesten Sinne klar, wie er aus allen Tiefen der menschlichen Seele heraus nach einer Weltanschauung ringt, wie er aber unmöglich zu einer solchen kommen kann aus irgendeiner Spiritualität heraus, und wie er daher zuletzt landet bei der Annahme desjenigen, was ihm dogmatisch von der katholischen Kirche dargeboten wird.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":166,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/206/1921-08-05/p006"}],"english":["GA 206/1921-08-05/p007"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":166,"en_words":170,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.11,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5678,"original_word_count":5135,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"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.
