We speak of the opposite of the beautiful ( *das Schoene*) as the ugly or hateful ( *das Haessliche*). Were we to denote the beautiful in the same way we would call it—since the opposite of hate is love—the lovely or loving. As it is, we make a significant difference. In German the word beautiful *(das Schoene*) is related to shining ( *das Scheinende*). The beautiful shines; brings its inner nature to the surface. It is the distinguishing quality of the beautiful not to hide itself, but to carry its essence into outer configuration. Thus beauty reveals inwardness through outer form; a shining radiates outward into the world. If we were to speak, in this sense, of beauty's opposite, we would call it the concealed or non-radiant, that which holds back its being, refusing to disclose it in any outer sheath. To put it another way, “the beautiful” designates something objective. If we were to treat its opposite just as objectively, we would have to speak of concealment, of something whose outer aspect belies what it really is. But here subjectivity enters, for we cannot love what conceals itself, showing a false countenance; we must hate it. In this way the ugly calls up quite a different emotional reaction than the beautiful; we do not respond to it out of the same recesses of our nature.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VI","site_heading":"Painting and the Spiritual Radiance of Color","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.

Wir sprechen von dem Schönen und sprechen von seinem Gegenteil in den einzelnen Sprachen, von dem Häßlichen. Würden wir das Schöne in ganz entsprechender Weise bezeichnen wie das Häßliche, so müßten wir, da das Gegenteil von Haß die Liebe ist, nicht vom Schönen sprechen, sondern etwa vom Lieblichen. Wir müßten dann sagen das Liebliche, das Häßliche. Wir sprechen aber von dem Schönen und von dem Häßlichen und machen aus dem Sprachgenius heraus einen bedeutsamen Unterschied, indem wir das eine und sein Gegenteil in dieser Weise bezeichnen. Das Schöne, wenn wir es zunächst in der deutschen Sprache nehmen - für andere Sprachen müßte ein ähnliches aufgesucht werden -, ist als Wort verwandt mit dem Scheinenden. Dasjenige, was schön ist, scheint, das heißt trägt sein Inneres an die Oberfläche. Das ist ja das Wesen des Schönen, daß es sich nicht verbirgt, sondern daß es sein Inneres an die Oberfläche, in die äußere Gestaltung trägt, so daß schön dasjenige ist, was sein Inneres in seiner äußeren Gestaltung zur Offenbarung bringt, das Scheinende, dasjenige, was Schein ausstrahlt, so daß der Schein das in die Welt Ausstrahlende, das Wesen offenbart. Würden wir in diesem Sinne von dem Gegenteil des Schönen sprechen wollen, so müßten wir sagen: das sich Verbergende, das Nichtscheinende, dasjenige, was sein Wesen zurückhält und in seiner äußeren Hülle nicht nach außen offenbart, was es ist. Wenn wir vom Schönen sprechen, bezeichnen wir also etwas objektiv. Würden wir ebenso objektiv von dem Gegenteil des Schönen sprechen, so würden wir es mit einem Worte bezeichnen müssen, welches das sich Verbergende, das nach außen anders aussieht, als es ist, heißen würde. Aber da gehen wir von dem Objektiven ab, gehen an das Subjektive heran und bezeichnen dann unser Verhältnis zu dem, was sich verbirgt, und finden, das, was sich verbirgt, können wir nicht lieben, müssen es hassen. Dasjenige also, was uns ein anderes Antlitz zeigt, als es ist, ist das Gegenteil des Schönen. Aber wir bezeichnen es sozusagen nicht aus demselben Untergrund unseres Wesens heraus, wir bezeichnen es aus unserer Emotion heraus als das, was uns hassenswert ist, weil es sich verbirgt, weil es sich nicht offenbart.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":376,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-06-09/p004"}],"english":["GA 276/1923-06-09/p005"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"partial","length_check":{"de_words":376,"en_words":244,"ratio":0.65,"partial":true},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.74,"band":"short","note":"This witness is materially shorter than the original (below 75%).
