On the other hand, it is just in this relation that we find the conclusions arrived at through the medium of Spiritual Science, which traces man’s origin back to spiritual forms, and not merely to that which is external and physically perceptible, are in full harmony with the results obtained in the field of Natural Science. Perhaps nowhere do we find this want of accord so marked between that current cosmic concept, which is so general in the thoughts and hearts of the people of our day, and that which science has been constrained to adopt, as in the case of the Christ-conception. This divergence may well be due to the fact that the questions involved belong to the greatest of all those concerning the cosmos. However, since the coming of the Christ-Movement into the world’s history, man’s power of conception concerning the Christ-Being and the form which it has taken, has ever been such as was best adapted to a particular period, or as one might say, was best suited to that section of humanity which was occupied with such thoughts.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Auf der anderen Seite allerdings scheint in der Gegenwart immer mehr und mehr eine Weltanschauung Platz zu greifen, innerhalb welcher die Frage, die sich an den Christus-Namen knüpft, eigentlich keinen rechten Platz hat. Der Vortrag, welchen ich vor einigen Wochen von dieser Stelle aus über den «Ursprung des Menschen» halten durfte, und jener, der dann wie eine Fortsetzung an anderem Orte über den «Ursprung der Tierwelt» folgte, werden wohl gezeigt haben, daß ein jedes Zeitalter, also auch unser gegenwärtiges, solcheGrundfragen wie nach dem Ursprunge des Menschen und ähnliche — wir können dadurch voraussetzen auch diejenige nach dem Wesen, das mit dem Christus-Namen bezeichnet wird - in das Licht der Denkgewohnheiten, der ganzen Empfindungs- und Anschauungsweisen rückt, die auch sonst in einem Zeitalter herrschen. Wir haben gesehen, daß schon in der Frage nach dem Ursprunge des Menschen eigentlich die theoretischen Anschauungen, die Weltanschauungen, die sich für unsere Zeitgenossen aus diesen Denkgewohnheiten heraus ergeben haben, im Grunde genommen den wahren, echten Ergebnissen wissenschaftlicher Forschung widersprechen, während sich uns gerade bei der Frage nach dem Ursprunge des Menschen gezeigt hat, daß die geisteswissenschaftlichen Antworten, welche den Ursprung des Menschen nicht auf äußerlich physisch-sinnliche, sondern auf geistige Formen zurückführen, gerade den wirklichen Ergebnissen der Naturwissenschaft entsprechen und mit ihnen in voller Harmonie stehen. Aber vielleicht bei keiner Frage — es könnte dies wohl daher rühren, daß die Frage zu den größten Weltanschauungsfragen gehört —, zeigt sich so sehr die Disharmonie zwischen dem, was sich als eine Weltanschauung herausgebildet hat, was als Denkgewohnbheiten in den weitesten Kreisen bei den Menschen heute herrscht, und demjenigen, was eigentlich die Wissenschaft notwendigerweise hat feststellen müssen, wie bei der Christus-Frage. Allerdings, seit dem Eintritt der Christus-Bewegung in die Weltgeschichte hat das menschliche Vorstellungsvermögen gegenüber der Wesenheit des Christus immer diejenige Gestalt angenommen, welche dem Zeitalter oder, man kann sogar sagen, den Menschen, die sich damit beschäftigen, angemessen war.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":350,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/61/1912-01-25/p003"}],"english":["GA 61/1912-01-25/p003","GA 61/1912-01-25/p004","GA 61/1912-01-25/p005"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":350,"en_words":423,"ratio":1.21,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 61/1912-01-25/p003"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.26,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10270,"original_word_count":8148,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Walter F.
