What happened was that a philosopher once sought to raise humanity into the highest realms of thought. Even if one is opposed to Hegel, it cannot be denied that he dared attempt to call forth the world within the soul in the purest thought-forms. Hegel raised humanity into ethereal heights of thinking, but strangely enough, humanity then fell right back down out of those heights. It drew on the one hand certain materialistic and on the other hand certain positive theological conclusions from Hegel's thought. And even if one considers the Hegelian center headed by the amiable Rosenkranz, even there one cannot find Hegel's philosophy as Hegel himself had conceived it. In Hegel's philosophy one finds a grand attempt to pursue the scientific method right up into the highest heights. Afterward, however, when his followers sought to work through Hegel's thoughts themselves, they found that one could arrive thereby at the most contrary points of view.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Hegel, Marx, and the Limits of Conceptual Thinking","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.

Das liegt vor, daß einmal ein Philosoph die Menschheit heraufzuheben versuchte auf die höchste Höhe des Gedankens. Wenn man auch noch so sehr Hegel wird bekämpfen wollen, daß er den Versuch einmal gewagt hat, in reinsten Gedankengebilden die Welt innerlich-seelisch gegenwärtig zu machen, das wird nicht geleugnet werden können. In eine Ätherhöhe des Denkens hob Hegel die Menschheit herauf. Aber kurioserweise, die Menschheit fiel gleich wieder herunter aus dieser ÄAtherhöhe des Denkens. Auf der einen Seite zog sie materialistische Konsequenzen, auf der andern Seite positive theologische Konsequenzen daraus. Und selbst wenn man das Hegelsche Zentrum mit Karl Rosenkranz nimmt, so kann man nicht sagen, daß die Hegelsche Lehre so geblieben ist in dem liebenswürdigen Rosenkranz, wie Hegel sie selber gedacht hat. Da also liegt der Versuch vor, einmal mit dem Wissenschaftsprinzip in höchste Höhen hinaufzusteigen. Aber man konnte sozusagen, indem man nachher Hegels Gedanken in sich selber verarbeitete, die entgegengesetztesten Urteile, die entgegengesetztesten Erkenntnisrichtungen daraus hervorgehen lassen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":173,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/322/1920-09-28/p007"}],"english":["GA 322/1920-09-28/p008"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":173,"en_words":167,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":3924,"original_word_count":3967,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Frederick Amrine and Konrad Oberhuber","identified_edition":"AP1983","book_title":"The Boundaries of Natural Science","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA322/English/AP1983/19200928p01.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
