I do not wish to contend that the way of thinking of the vast majority of modern people is simply the outcome of the scientific way of thinking. No, quite the opposite. The last centuries have brought forth a certain kind of common thinking. Those who really study history, not simply a fable convenue, a convenient story, see how human life, particularly social life right down to the peasantry, has changed in the last three or four centuries. What has come forth as natural scientific thinking is, in my opinion, only an external expression of what has generally taken hold of human soul life. I do not wish to call human thinking and feeling a product of modern scientific attitude and knowledge, but just the opposite. I see in the scientific attitude and knowledge only the external symbol, the revelation, of what is the general direction of human thinking, the general attitude toward life and external reality.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Ich möchte durchaus nicht behaupten, daß die allgemeine populäre Denkweise der weitaus größten Menge der heutigen Menschen etwa ein Einfluß naturwissenschaftlicher Denkweise ist. O nein, im Gegenteil, die letzten Jahrhunderte haben eine gewisse populäre Denkweise heraufgebracht - wer Geschichte wirklich studiert, nicht nach dem, was bloß eine «fable convenue» ist, sondern sie wirklich studiert, kann sehen, wie seit drei bis vier Jahrhunderten sich das Leben der Menschen, namentlich das soziale Leben der Menschen bis in die bäuerlichsten Kreise hinauf gewandelt hat. Und dasjenige, was als naturwissenschaftliches Denken hervorgetreten ist, das ist nur, ich möchte sagen der äußere Exponent, der äußere Ausdruck dessen, was das menschliche Seelenleben überhaupt ergriffen hat. Ich möchte das Leben der Menschen, das Denk- und Empfindungsleben der Menschen nicht etwa einen Ausfluß nennen naturwissenschaftlicher Gesinnung und Wissensbereiche, sondern umgekehrt: ich möchte in der naturwissenschaftlichen Gesinnung und Wissensrichtung nur das äußere Zeichen, die Offenbarung für das sehen, was allgemeine Gesinnung des Menschen ist, allgemeine Stimmung dem Leben und der äußeren Wirklichkeit gegenüber.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":183,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/297/1919-11-25/p065"}],"english":["GA 297/1919-11-25/p058"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":183,"en_words":178,"ratio":0.97,"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.
