What is meant here by “spirit”? All that out of human thinking, feelings, and willing which begets “culture.” To speak of another “spirit” would then have been quite futile. For no one would have understood me if I had said: “That which appears in man as spirit and lies at the basis of nature is neither spirit nor nature, but the complete unity of both.” This unity – the creative Spirit which in its creating brings matter into existence and thereby is at the same time matter, but which also shows itself wholly as spirit – this unity is grasped by an idea which lay as far as possible from the habits of thought of that period. But it would have been necessary to speak of such an idea if one was to present in a spiritual form of thinking the primal state of the evolution of earth and man and the spiritual material Powers still active to-day in man himself, which on the one hand form his body and on the other cause to issue forth the living spiritual by means of which he creates culture. But external nature would have needed to be so discussed that in it the primal spiritual-material is represented as dead in natural laws.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Chapter XXV","site_heading":"Theatre as Creative Spiritual-Artistic Revelation","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.

Denn niemand hätte mich verstanden, wenn ich gesagt hätte: dem, was am Menschen als Geist erscheint, und der Natur liegt etwas zugrunde, das weder Geist, noch Natur ist, sondern die vollkommene Einheit beider. Diese Einheit: schaffender Geist, der den Stoff in seinem Schaffen zum Dasein bringt und dadurch zugleich Stoff ist, der ganz als Geist sich darstellt: diese Einheit wird durch eine Idee begriffen, die den damaligen Denkgewohnheiten so fern wie möglich lag. Von einer solchen Idee aber hätte gesprochen werden müssen, wenn in geistgemäßer Anschauungsart die Urzustände der Erd- und Menschheitsentwickelung und die heute noch im Menschen selbst tätigen geist-stofflichen Mächte hätten dargestellt werden sollen, die auf der einen Seite seinen Körper bilden, auf der andern das lebendig Geistige aus sich hervorgehen lassen, durch das er die Kultur schafft. Die äußere Natur aber hätte so besprochen werden müssen, daß in ihr das ursprünglich Geist-Stoffliche als erstorben in den abstrakten Naturgesetzen sich darstellt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":196,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/28/l25/p019"}],"english":["GA 28/l25/p019"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":196,"en_words":226,"ratio":1.15,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.14,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2458,"original_word_count":2159,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.
