If we consider how it is actually impossible today to formulate the right questions that need to be asked in psychiatry, we will realize how necessary such a reform of psychiatric studies is. However, such a reform will not be able to take place – for me, this seemed to emerge from Dr. Husemann's lecture itself – unless spiritual science first truly enriches the individual specialist sciences. For the development that Dr. Husemann has so beautifully described today, which began around the time of Galileo and culminated in the 19th century, has actually driven the whole of human thought life apart into two sharply opposing currents of thought. On the one hand, there are the ideas we have about material things and their processes; on the other hand, there is the life of thought itself, which, I would say, has increasingly taken on a purely abstract character. So that, since abstractions cannot be forces in the world, and therefore cannot be forces in man either, which bring about something, there is also no possibility for man to understand the material, the physical, from the soul, to build some kind of bridge from the psychic to the material.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"On Psychiatry","site_heading":null,"date":"1920-03-26","location":null,"word_count":250,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/314/1920-03-26/p003","alignment_confidence":"medium","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"On Psychiatry","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA314/English/Singles/19200326p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["English"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/314/1920-03-26/p003"},{"lang":"en","edition":"English","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/314/1920-03-26/p003","paragraph_aligned":true}],"record":{"record_type":"unknown","scope":"volume","note":"How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here.

Schon wenn man bloß darauf sieht, wie es heute eigentlich unmöglich ist, die Fragestellungen richtig zu machen, die in der Psychiatrie figurieren müssen, so wird man darauf kommen, wie notwendig eine solche Reform eines psychiatrischen Studiums ist. Allein eine solche Reform wird nicht eintreten können — denn das schien mir schon aus dem Vortrag von Dr. Husemann selbst hervorzugehen —, wenn nicht vorher Geisteswissenschaft wirklich die einzelnen Fachwissenschaften befruchtet. Denn jene Entwickelung, die ja heute Dr. Husemann so schön geschildert hat, die eingesetzt hat etwa um die Zeit Galileis und die dann kulminiert hat im 19. Jahrhundert, diese wissenschaftliche Entwickelung hat eigentlich in zwei schroff einander gegenüberstehenden Denkströmungen das ganze menschliche Gedankenleben auseinandergetrieben. Auf der einen Seite stehen die Vorstellungen, die man über das Materielle und seine Vorgänge hat, auf der anderen Seite steht das Gedankenleben selbst, das, ich möchte sagen, immer mehr und mehr einen rein abstrakten Charakter angenommen hat. So daß, da Abstraktionen keine Kräfte der Welt sein können, also auch im Menschen keine Kräfte sein können, die etwas bewirken, auch für den Menschen nicht die Möglichkeit vorliegt, vom Seelischen aus das Materielle, das Physische zu begreifen, vom Psychischen aus irgendeine Brücke zu schlagen zum Materiellen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":248,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/314/1920-03-26/p003"}],"english":["GA 314/1920-03-26/p003"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":248,"en_words":250,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2620,"original_word_count":2592,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":"On Psychiatry","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA314/English/Singles/19200326p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 314/1920-03-26/p003"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"medium","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
