On the other hand, one must realize that at the outset of this whole stream of development, feelings such as Berkeley's were understandable. He shuddered at what he thought would come from a infinitesimal study of nature and had to do with the process of birth but a study of all dying aspects in 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.

Hätte er sich konkret anschaulich ausgesprochen, so hätte er wohl gesagt: Ihr tötet erst die ganze Welt, indem ihr sie differenziert, dann fügt ihr wiederum ihre Differentiale zusammen in Integralen, habt aber keine Welt mehr, sondern nur das Nachbild einer Welt, die Illusion einer Welt. — Jedes Integral ist eigentlich eine Illusion in bezug auf seinen Inhalt - das hat Berkeley schon gefühlt -, so daß eigentlich Differenzieren Töten heißt und Integrieren das Zusammensuchen der Knochen und des Staubes, um aus den getöteten Wesen die alten Gestalten wiederum zusammenzufügen, wodurch sie aber nicht lebendig werden, sondern eben tote Schemata sind. Man kann sagen, solch eine Empfindung bei Berkeley war unzeitgemäß. Das war sie auch ganz sicher, denn die Anschauungsweise, die so vorgeht, mußte kommen, und derjenige, der etwa sagen wollte, es hätte keine Infinitesimalrechnung kommen sollen, der wäre natürlich nicht ein wissenschaftlicher Denker, sondern ein Narr. Aber auf der anderen Seite muß man sich auch wiederum klar sein, daß im Ausgangspunkte dieser ganzen Weltenströmung dennoch so etwas begreiflich ist wie die Empfindung des Berkeley. Ihn schauderte vor dem, was er ahnte aus dem Heraufkommen der Infinitesimalbetrachtung der Natur, die nicht mehr Betrachtung dessen war, was früher als Natur galt, was mit Geborenwerden zusammenhing, sondern Betrachtung desjenigen, was immer in der Natur erstirbt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":226,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/326/1922-12-27/p020"}],"english":["GA 326/1922-12-27/p024","GA 326/1922-12-27/p025"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":226,"en_words":221,"ratio":0.98,"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.
