But anyone who does not recognize the seriousness of the first link in the social question, the spiritual social question, will not be able to contribute anything to the emergence from the chaos and confusion of the present. We must unreservedly admit that the intellectual life that has been brought up by the upper classes of human society, that this intellectual life, as it was formed, was not up to the facts. Even today, the legacy of this intellectual life is still far from being equal to the facts. Let us take a look at what has actually happened. It has often been emphasized, and rightly so, that the newer proletarian movement has emerged in the course of human development through newer technology and through the capitalist economic order. Of course, nothing should be said against this emphasis on true facts. But as true and correct as these facts are, there is another fact that people would rather deny. It is just as true, just as correct, and, above all, it is actually more important than anything else for what has to happen today: Perhaps three or four hundred years ago, with the advent of modern technology and soul-destroying capitalism, the process of what could be called the modern, more scientifically oriented worldview began.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

Aber wer den Ernst gerade des ersten Gliedes der sozialen Frage, der geistigen sozialen Frage nicht einsieht, der wird nichts beitragen können zum Herauskommen aus dem Chaos und der Wirrnis der Gegenwart. Wir müssen uns unbedingt gestehen, daß das Geistesleben, welches heraufgebracht worden ist durch die Oberschichten der menschlichen Gesellschaft, daß dieses Geistesleben, so wie es gestaltet war, den Tatsachen nicht gewachsen war. Heute noch immer zeigt sich das Erbgut dieses Geisteslebens den Tatsachen erst recht nicht gewachsen. Sehen wir einmal hin, was eigentlich geschehen ist. Es ist oftmals und zwar mit Recht betont worden, daß die neuere proletarische Bewegung heraufgekommen ist innerhalb der Entwickelungsgeschichte der Menschheit durch die neuere Technik und durch die kapitalistische Wirtschaftsordnung. Gegen diese Betonung von wahren Tatsachen soll selbstverständlich nichts eingewendet werden. Allein so wahr, so richtig wie diese Tatsachen sind, eine andere Tatsache, die man gerne ableugnen möchte, sie ist ebenso wahr, sie ist ebenso richtig; und sie ist vor allen Dingen für dasjenige, was heute zu geschehen hat, eigentlich wichtiger als alles andere: Vor vielleicht drei bis vier Jahrhunderten beginnt, zugleich mit dem Heraufkommen der neueren Technik und des seelenverödenden Kapitalismus, der Prozeß desjenigen, was man nennen könnte die moderne, mehr wissenschaftlich orientierte Weltanschauung.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":233,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/330/1919-04-28/p009"}],"english":["GA 330/1919-04-28/p009"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":233,"en_words":244,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9703,"original_word_count":9371,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Reorganization of the Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA330/English/SOL2024/19190428p02.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.
