But this is precisely what spiritual science is for, to reveal the deepest inner being of human beings, and indeed to reveal the will. How little our age is inclined to respond to such things is shown by the fact that it was only a few decades ago that Schopenhauer portrayed the will as something blind, as something dark in itself. And only when he experiences that illumination, for example in morality, where the will rises up, is projected, as it were, into the emotional realm, only when he experiences this illumination does he attain moral content in Schopenhauer's sense.
