For example, he knows the following – it is good that it is also said by someone other than just the anthroposophist: 'The summary of knowledge and the assertion of its consequences for the world view is not his concern. In the past every scientist was also a thinker who had a certain significance in the general spiritual life of his generation. Our time has arrived at the ability to distinguish between science and thinking. Therefore we still have freedom of science, but hardly any thinking science at all.” It is indeed good to hear it from someone else for a change. But you see, despite all this insight, he does not get any further than the beautiful chickens. Extremely characteristic! Something that reappears as a truly fruitful worldview must be ethical, optimistic, firm, weatherproof, beautiful, and such that one can comfortably live in it!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Mauthner's “Critique of Language”","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-07-04","location":null,"word_count":184,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/224/1923-07-04/p041","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Human Soul in its Connection with Divine-Spiritual Individualities","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA224/English/SOL2024/19230704p01.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.

So weiß er zum Beispiel das Folgende - es ist gut, daß es auch ein anderer sagt als immer nur der Anthroposoph -: «Die Zusammenfassung der Erkenntnisse und die Geltendmachung ihrer Konsequenzen für die Weltanschauung sei nicht seine Sache. Früher war jeder wissenschaftliche Mensch zugleich ein Denker, der in dem allgemeinen geistigen Leben seiner Generation etwas bedeutete. Unsere Zeit ist bei dem Vermögen angelangt, zwischen Wissenschaft und Denken scheiden zu können. Darum gibt es bei uns wohl noch Freiheit der Wissenschaft, aber fast keine denkende Wissenschaft mehr.» Es ist wirklich gut, daß es einmal ein anderer sagt. Aber sehen Sie, trotz aller dieser Einsicht kommt er eben nicht weiter als zu den schönen Hühnern. Außerordentlich charakteristisch!
