A challenge was issued, quite independently of anything I said, to the effect that every member should form his own independent judgments about matters affecting the Society. Now of course nothing could be truer. But we need to concern ourselves with the fact that when a challenge of this kind is presented one has to consider the whole context of what is under discussion, no matter how right the isolated statement may be in itself nor how fully I agree with it in principle. Something can be perfectly true but it may not necessarily apply in a given instance. Every truth can be presented as true in itself, but it is colored by the context in which it is brought up, and in the wrong place it can lead to the gravest misconceptions.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Spiritual-Scientific Judgment and Anthroposophical Consciousness","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Etwas kann wahr sein, aber es handelt sich darum, ob in einem bestimmten Zusammenhange eine Veranlassung ist, eine vielleicht auch selbstverständliche Wahrheit vorzubringen.
