There he is in the ego with something that Fichte calls action. He comes to something within himself which, by living in actuality, simultaneously produces its matter with this actuality. If we grasp the I in pure thought, then we are in a center where pure thinking at the same time essentially produces its material being. If you grasp the ego in thinking, there is a threefold ego: a pure ego that belongs to the universals “ante rem”, an ego in which you are inside, which belongs to the universals “in re”, and an ego that you comprehend, which belongs to the universals “post rem”. But there is something else very special here: For the ego, it is the case that when one rises to a real grasp of the ego, these three “egos” coincide. The ego lives in itself by producing its pure concept and can live in the concept as reality. For the ego it is not indifferent what pure thinking does, because pure thinking is the creator of the ego. Here the concept of the creative coincides with the material, and we need only recognize that in all other cognitive processes we initially come up against a limit, except in the case of the ego: we encompass it in its innermost essence by grasping it in pure thinking.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"12.

Da ist er im Ich bei etwas, was Fichte als Tathandlung bezeichnet. Er kommt in seinem Innern zu etwas, was, indem es in Aktualität lebt, zugleich mit dieser Aktualität seine Materie mit hervorbringt. Wenn wir das Ich im reinen Gedanken fassen, dann sind wir in einem Zentrum, wo das reine Denken zugleich essenziell sein materielles Wesen hervorbringt. Wenn Sie das Ich im Denken fassen, so ist ein dreifaches Ich vorhanden: ein reines Ich, das zu den Universalien «ante rem» gehört, ein Ich, in dem Sie drinnen sind, das zu den Universalien «in re» gehört, und ein Ich, das Sie begreifen, das zu den Universalien «post rem» gehört. Aber noch etwas ganz Besonderes ist hier: Für das Ich verhält es sich so, dass, wenn man sich zum wirklichen Erfassen des Ich aufschwingt, diese drei «Ichs» zusammenfallen. Das Ich lebt in sich, indem es seinen reinen Begriff hervorbringt und im Begriff als Realität leben kann. Für das Ich ist es nicht gleichgültig, was das reine Denken tut, denn das reine Denken ist der Schöpfer des Ich. Hier fällt der Begriff des Schöpferischen mit dem Materiellen zusammen, und man braucht nur einzusehen, dass wir in allen andern Erkenntnisprozessen zunächst an eine Grenze stoßen, nur beim Ich nicht: Dieses umfassen wir in seinem innersten Wesen, indem wir es im reinen Denken ergreifen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":242,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/246/1908-08-17/p049"}],"english":["GA 246/1908-08-17/p049"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":242,"en_words":245,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7990,"original_word_count":7843,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"Supplements to Member Lectures","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA246/English/SOL2025/19080817s01.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.
