Those great scientific triumphs could arise only when people first turned away from what was within them and devoted themselves to the activities of nature and to the scientific method. Those who are spiritual researchers will certainly recognize the conscientiousness, the exactitude, of modern scientific methods, and will also recognize the fertility of these methods within their areas. They will certainly not go into a simplistic, unsympathetic criticism of limited and bounded material knowledge. However, we must be clear about one fact of experience that people do not observe today. People do not observe it because they can see, completely correctly from at least one point of view, that scientific methods are well suited to give a picture of natural phenomena. Because scientific methods work so well in this realm, people are not inclined to ask how this experience, derived in this way, affects the whole essence of humanity.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Aber eine Erfahrungstatsache muß geltend gemacht werden, die heute deshalb nicht beobachtet wird, weil man von der einen Seite aus vollberechtigt die Aufmerksamkeit darauf wendet, wie sehr die naturwissenschaftlichen Methoden geeignet sind, ein richtiges Bild des äußeren Naturwirkens oder wenigstens ein Bild des äußeren Wirkens der Natur zu geben; da ist man dann nicht geneigt, zu fragen: Ja, wie wirkt denn aber dieses Bild, das auf solche Art entsteht, nun auf das ganze Wesen des Menschen ein?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":180,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/297/1919-11-25/p060"}],"english":["GA 297/1919-11-25/p053"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":180,"en_words":165,"ratio":0.92,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.87,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10604,"original_word_count":12154,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Robert F.
