Man has forgotten that originally he received mathematics as an inspiration from God. And in this utterly abstract form, Newton now applies mathematics to the study of space. As he writes his Principia, he simply applies this abstracted mathematics, this idea of space (which he does not define,) because he has a dim feeling that nothing will be gained by trying to define it. He takes the trivial idea of space and applies his abstract mathematics to it, thus severing it from any inward experiences. This is how he speaks of the principles of nature.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IV","site_heading":"Mathematics Severed from Human Experience: The Birth of Modern Science","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.

Man hat vergessen, daß man die Mathematik eigentlich als von Gott eininspiriert erhalten hat. Und Newton wendet die Mathematik ganz in dieser abgesonderten Weise auf die Raumbetrachtung an. Als er seine Prinzipien der mathematischen Naturwissenschaft schreibt, geht er einfach darauf los, und wendet diese abgesonderte Mathematik, also einen konstruierten Raum, an, den er nicht definiert, weil er ein dunkles Gefühl davon hat: Wenn man anfängt den Raum zu definieren, da wird nichts daraus. - Er nimmt also den trivialen Begriff des Raumes, aber er behandelt ihn mit abgesonderter Mathematik, reißt ihn aus den inneren Erlebnissen heraus. So spricht er über die Naturprinzipien. Später vertieft sich das etwas bei Newton. Das ist interessant. Da wird -— man kann das ganz gut bemerken, wenn man bewandert ist in den Newtonschen Schriften —, da wird ihm, ich möchte sagen, nicht wohl dabei, wenn er seine eigene Raumbetrachtung ins Auge faßt. Er kann diesen vom Menschen herausgerissenen Raum, diesen ganz dem Geiste entfremdeten Raum, später nicht recht vertragen. Und da definiert er: Der Raum ist das Sensorium Gottes. Das ist ein ungeheuer interessantes Faktum, daß derjenige Mann im Ausgangspunkte der neueren Naturwissenschaft, der zuerst den Raum ganz mathematisiert, ganz abgesondert hat vom Menschen, daß der dann diesen Raum doch noch definiert als das Sensorium Gottes, also eine Art Gehirnwahrnehmungsorgan Gottes. Auseinandergerissen hatte Newton die Natur in den Raum und den Menschen, der den Raum erlebt. Auseinandergerissen hatte er es nun einmal, aber schwül wurde ihm innerlich, wenn er jetzt den ja vom Menschen losgerissenen Raum betrachtete, den der Mensch früher mit seinem Gotte zusammen erlebt hatte, so daß er sich sagen konnte: Was mein menschliches Sensorium im Raume erlebt, das erlebe ich mit meinem Gotte zusammen; schwül wurde es Newton, da er jetzt den Raum aus dem menschlichen Sensorium herausgerissen hatte. Er hatte dadurch sich selber losgerissen von dem Durchdrungensein mit dem Göttlich-Geistigen. Der Raum war jetzt mit der Mathematik draußen. Und nun spricht er ihn später an als das Sensorium Gottes. Zwar hat er zuerst das Ganze herausgerissen. Dadurch ist es ungeistig und ungöttlich geworden. Aber es steckt noch so viel Empfindung in Newton, daß er den Raum, der nun draußen ist, doch nicht ungöttlich lassen kann, und so vergöttlicht er ihn wieder.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":375,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/326/1922-12-27/p013"}],"english":["GA 326/1922-12-27/p014","GA 326/1922-12-27/p015"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":375,"en_words":351,"ratio":0.94,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6036,"original_word_count":5743,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Maria St. Goar","identified_edition":"AP1985","book_title":"The Origins of Natural Science","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA326/English/AP1985/19221227p01.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.
