But the fundamental conviction relating to one side of cognition, to that side which refers to the world of the senses, this fundamental conviction has been maintained. What had thus developed in the course of the nineteenth century, then changed in such a way that it appeared, for instance, in the famous *Ignorabimus* of du Bois-Reymond, in the early seventies. The scholastic thinkers used to say: Human cognition, which is permeated by the intellect, is only connected with the external world of the senses, and everything that the human being is supposed to know in regard to the super-sensible world must be given through the revelation which is preserved in the dogmas.—The revelation which the dogmas have preserved has paled, but the other fundamental conviction has been retained. This is what du Bois-Reymond states incisively, in a modern garment, to be sure. du Bois-Reymond applied what Scholasticism used to voice in the manner which I have just described, in such a way that he said: It is only possible to gain a knowledge of sensory things; we should only gain a knowledge of sensory things, for a knowledge of the super-sensible world does not exist.","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":202,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/206/1921-08-05/p029","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.

Jahrhunderts verwandelte sich dasjenige, was sich da herausgebildet hatte, dann so, daß es erschien zum Beispiel in dem berühmten «Ignorabimus» von Du Bois-Reymond aus dem Anfang der siebziger Jahre. Der Scholastiker sagte: Die menschliche Erkenntnis, von Intellekt durchdrungen, bezieht sich nur auf die äußere Sinneswelt. Alles dasjenige, was der Mensch über das Übersinnliche erkennen soll,muß ihm gegeben werden durch Offenbarung, die in der Dogmatik bewahrt ist. - Diese Offenbarung, die in der Dogmatik bewahrt ist, verblaßt; aber die andere Grundüberzeugung wird beibehalten. Sie spricht Du Bois-Reymond, allerdings in neuzeitlichem Gewande, scharf aus.
