Here we can speak of the soul as a single entity without falling into abstractions. For here we stand upon a sure foundation; we proceed from the point of view that man lives his way into the world, and does not at first possess the whole of reality. You can study this in *Truth and Science*, and in *The Philosophy of Freedom*. To begin with man has not the whole reality; he has first to develop himself further, and in this further development what formerly was not yet reality becomes true reality for him through the interplay of thinking and perception. Man first has to win reality. In this connection Kantianism, which has eaten its way into everything, has wrought the most terrible havoc. What does Kantianism do? First of all it says dogmatically: we look out upon the world that is round about us, and within us there lives only the mirrored image of this world. And so it comes to all its other deductions. Kant himself is not clear as to what is in the environment which man perceives. For reality is not within the environment, nor is it in phenomena: only gradually, through our own winning of it, does reality come in sight, and the first sight of reality is the last thing we get. Strictly speaking, true reality would be what man sees in the moment when he can no longer express himself, the moment in which he passes through the gateway of death.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture V","site_heading":"Feeling as Bridge Between Thinking and Willing","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.

Dann kann man von der einheitlichen Seele sprechen, ohne daß man dabei in Abstraktionen verfällt. Denn da steht man auf einem sicheren Boden; da geht man davon aus, daß der Mensch sich in die Welt hineinlebt und nicht die ganze Wirklichkeit hat. Sie können das in «Wahrheit und Wissenschaft» und in der «Philosophie der Freiheit» nachlesen. Der Mensch hat anfangs nicht die ganze Wirklichkeit. Er entwickelt sich erst weiter, und im Weiterentwickeln wird ihm das, was vorher noch nicht Wirklichkeit ist, durch das Ineinandergehen von Denken und Anschauung erst zur wahren Wirklichkeit. Der Mensch erobert sich erst die Wirklichkeit. In dieser Beziehung hat der Kantianismus, der sich in alles eingefressen hat, die furchtbarsten Verheerungen angerichtet. Was tut denn der Kantianismus? Er sagt von vornherein dogmatisch: Die Welt, die uns umgibt, haben wir zunächst anzuschauen, und in uns lebt eigentlich nur das Spiegelbild von dieser Welt. So kommt er zu allen seinen anderen Deduktionen. Kant ist sich nicht im klaren darüber, was in der wahrgenommenen Umgebung des Menschen ist. Denn die Wirklichkeit ist nicht in der Umgebung, ist auch nicht in der Erscheinung, sondern es ist so, daß die Wirklichkeit erst nach und nach auftaucht durch unser Frobern dieser Wirklichkeit, so daß das Letzte, was an uns herantritt, die Wirklichkeit erst ist. Im Grunde genommen wäre das die richtige Wirklichkeit, was der Mensch in dem Augenblicke erschaut, wo er sich nicht mehr aussprechen kann, in jenem Augenblicke nämlich, wo er durch die Pforte des Todes geht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":282,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/293/1919-08-26/p029"}],"english":["GA 293/1919-08-26/p029"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":282,"en_words":282,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4487,"original_word_count":4144,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Daphne Harwood and Helen Fox","identified_edition":"RSP1966","book_title":"The Study of Man","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA293/English/RSP1966/19190826a01.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.
