Spiritual science will have to provide the foundations for what people unconsciously express in their social demands today, what they cannot formulate clearly because the power of thought is not available. It is therefore necessary to understand this spiritual science not as something that one could devote a few thoughts to on the side, but as something that is among the most necessary conditions for the recovery of our lives. I know full well — for I truly do not believe I am an impractical person — that people say: We have our professions, we cannot devote ourselves to this spiritual science, which is quite extensive after all. Should not a little more thought also enter into the hearts and souls of people: Doesn't the present downward path on which we are walking show us — however much we are still in our profession — that we are only helping to shape the path into chaos? And shouldn't we consider it necessary to devote every hour that we can spare to such views, which now really and radically raise the question of recovery?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Geisteswissenschaft wird es sein müssen, welche die Grundlagen abgibt für das, was unbewußt die Menschen heute in ihre sozialen Forderungen kleiden, was sie nicht klar formulieren können, weil die Denkkraft nicht vorhanden ist. Daher ist es notwendig, diese Geisteswissenschaft nicht als etwas aufzufassen, dem man sich nebenbei mit ein paar Gedanken widmen könnte, sondern als etwas, was zu den notwendigsten Bedingungen der Gesundung unseres Lebens gehört. Ich weiß wohl — denn ich glaube wahrhaftig kein unpraktischer Mensch zu sein -, die Leute sagen: Wir haben unsere Berufe, wir können uns nicht widmen dieser immerhin recht ausführlichen Geisteswissenschaft. Sollte nicht auch der andere Gedanke ein wenig einziehen in die Herzen und Seelen der Menschen: Zeigt nicht die heutige abschüssige Bahn, auf der wir wandeln — wenn wir auch noch so sehr drinnen stehen im Beruf -, daß wir nur mitarbeiten an der Gestaltung des Weges in das Chaos hinein? Und sollten wir es nicht für notwendig halten, jede Stunde, die wir erübrigen können, solchen Anschauungen zu widmen, die nun wirklich radikal die Frage nach der Gesundung aufwerfen?","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":193,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/333/1919-12-19/p019"}],"english":["GA 333/1919-12-19/p019"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":193,"en_words":197,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9893,"original_word_count":9434,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Freedom of Thought and Social Forces","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA333/English/SOL2024/19191219.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.
