He is less concerned with what is error or truth, because that is usually only one's own point of view that decides this, and I have just expressed my own point of view. But however great the supposed error may be that is produced by this or that person, thinking or acting, what the person presents to us is the complement of our own being if we imbue ourselves with spiritual science. Just as the natural scientist has the need to deal with the experiment, so the spiritual scientist has the need to deal with everything human. If he establishes a world view, it becomes a social impulse because it does not divide people, but brings them together; because it brings individual life into that which is otherwise only an abstract point of view that anyone can have towards anyone else. The spiritual researcher encounters the small child, who perhaps can only babble, perhaps cannot even babble, who can reveal secrets to him through the still completely childlike eye. He receives revelations from all humanity. Through this, what spiritual science has to say, if it is only taken up into human life, becomes an impulse for social togetherness of people. Just as scientific knowledge has extracted the content of thought from human language, just as it has created the phrase, so spiritual science will bring secrets into our language, living spiritual substantiality, and our language will become, through the fact that spiritual science leads man to man, the most important social remedy for the coming time.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Er fragt weniger nach dem, was Irrtum oder Wahrheit ist, denn das ist ja zumeist nur der eigene Standpunkt, der darüber entscheidet, und über diesen Standpunkt habe ich mich ja gerade ausgesprochen. Aber wie groß auch der vermeintliche Irrtum sein mag, der von dem oder jenem hervorgebracht wird denkend oder handelnd, dasjenige, was der Mensch uns darlebt, es ist die Ergänzung unseres eigenen Wesens, wenn wir uns von Geisteswissenschaft durchdringen. So wie der Naturforscher das Bedürfnis hat, sich mit dem Experiment auseinanderzusetzen, so hat der Geistesforscher das Bedürfnis, sich mit allem Menschlichen auseinanderzusetzen. Begründet er eine Weltanschauung, so wird sie zu einem sozialen Impuls, weil sie die Menschen nicht auseinanderbringt, weil sie die Menschen zusammenführt; weil sie wiederum individuelles Leben hineinbringt in dasjenige, was sonst nur abstrakter Standpunkt ist, den jeder jedem gegenüber haben kann. Der Geistesforscher, er tritt dem kleinen Kinde gegenüber, das vielleicht nur lallen kann, vielleicht nicht einmal lallen kann, das aus elementaren Blicken heraus ihm Geheimnisse durch das noch ganz kindliche Auge enthüllen kann. Er empfängt Offenbarungen von allem Menschlichen. Dadurch wird dasjenige, was Geisteswissenschaft zu sagen hat, wenn man es nur einmal aufnehmen wird in das menschliche Leben, zum Impuls für soziales Zusammensein der Menschen. So wie die naturwissenschaftliche Erkenntnis herausgeholt hat aus der menschlichen Sprache den Gedankeninhalt, so wie sie die Phrase geschaffen hat, so wird Geisteswissenschaft in unsere Sprache hineingeheimnissen lebendige geistige Substantialität, und unsere Sprache wird dadurch, daß Geisteswissenschaft den Menschen zum Menschen führt, zu dem wichtigsten sozialen Besserungsmittel für die kommende Zeit werden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":276,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/334/1920-03-18/p026"}],"english":["GA 334/1920-03-18/p026"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":276,"en_words":279,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9598,"original_word_count":9332,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From a Unitary State to the Tripartite Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA334/English/SOL2024/19200318s01.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.
