However strange it may sound, it is true. It starts from thoughts. It starts from thoughts that, drawing ever wider and wider circles, sank into the souls of the proletarian population in the hours of the evening, when the proletarian population wrested itself from the fatigue of the day, and in which a truly more more real conception of social facts than was given by the political economists of the universities and teaching institutions, who essentially gave what the bourgeois class had to say about economic life and the other aspects of modern life. What has become part of the thoughts and especially the thought habits of the modern proletariat is, in essence, more important and significant than anything else for the movements that are taking place in the civilized world today. For what is actually at issue here? Well, as I said, with the advent of modern technology, with the advent of the capitalist economic system, the newer, more scientifically oriented worldview also emerged from the old worldviews, which had more of a general human or even a religious character. This scientifically oriented worldview, how did it confront the bourgeoisie, how did it confront the proletariat?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

So sonderbar es klingt, es ist so. Sie geht aus von Gedanken. Geht von Gedanken aus, die sich, immer weitere und weitere Kreise ziehend, hineinsenkten in die Seelen der proletarischen Bevölkerung in den Stunden des Abends, die sich diese proletarische Bevölkerung abrang von der Ermüdung des Tages, und in denen wahrhaftig vielfach eine lebenswirklichere Weltanschauung, eine lebenswirklichere Auffassung der sozialen Tatsachen gepflegt worden ist, als von den Nationalökonomen der Universitäten und Lehranstalten, die im wesentlichen dasjenige gaben, was die bürgerliche Klasse über das Wirtschaftsleben und das sonstige Leben der neueren Zeit zu sagen hatte. Was in die Gedanken und namentlich in die Denkgewohnheiten des modernen Proletariats sich einlebte, es ist im Grunde genommen wichtiger, bedeutungsvoller als alles andere für die Bewegungen, die heute durch die zivilisierte Welt gehen. Denn was liegt da eigentlich vor? Nun, ich sagte schon, mit dem Heraufkommen der neueren Technik, mit dem Heraufkommen der kapitalistischen Wirtschaftsordnung kam auch aus den alten Weltanschauungen, die mehr einen allgemein menschlichen oder auch einen religiösen Charakter hatten, die neuere, mehr wissenschaftlich orientierte Weltanschauung herauf.
