And I believe I have shown that this world view corresponds more perfectly to the total personality of Goethe than does any compilation of statements in which one would have to take into account how such thoughts are colored by the mood of his youthful period or by that of his old age. I believe that Goethe in his studies of nature, although not guided by a clear self-knowledge in accord with ideas, was guided by a right feeling and did observe a free way of working which flowed from a true relationship between human nature and the outer world. Goethe is himself clear about the fact that there is something incomplete about his way of thinking: “I was aware of having great and noble purposes *but could never understand the determining factors under which I worked*; I was well aware of what I lacked, and likewise of what I had too much of; therefore I did not cease to develop myself, outwardly and from within. And still it was as before. I pursued every purpose with earnestness, force, and faithfulness; in doing so I often succeeded in completely overcoming stubborn conditions but also often foundered because I could not learn to give in and to go around. And so my life went by this way, in doing and enjoying, in suffering and resisting, in the love, contentment, hatred, and disapproval of others. Find yourself mirrored here whoever's destiny was the same.”","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Part I.6: The Metamorphosis of World Phenomena","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":292,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/6/c01_6/p012?edition=MP1985","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":null,"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["APC1928","MP1985"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"en","edition":"MP1985","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":false,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/6/c01_6/p012?edition=MP1985","paragraph_aligned":true},{"lang":"de","edition":"original","edition_basis":null,"is_original":true,"is_default_edition":true,"locus":"GA 6/l06/p012","anchor_mapped":true,"anchor_method":"curated","anchor_confidence":"high","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/6/l06/p012"}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"l06","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 6/l06/p013","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/6/l06/p013"}],"bead_confidence":"high","length_check":{"de_words":238,"en_words":292,"ratio":1.23,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.
