Therefore, for him too, the soul, when it descends into its depths, does not separate in such a way that it develops a trinity of powers corresponding to the three stages of knowledge — imagination, inspiration, intuition — but rather everything merges for him. The “soul” is a nebulousness of all the powers living in its depths. Thus Schopenhauer cannot dissect the moral virtues, either, the development of which must be the preparation for a spiritual education: a sense of fact as the basis of the virtue of truthfulness for the imagination, fortitude as the basis for what leads to inspiration, and the third - which Schopenhauer thoroughly discusses - that slumbers in the depths of the soul and that one can call general interest in the environment and surroundings. But Schopenhauer draws attention to something else, and here he is, in a sense, deeply ingenious. He draws attention to what is in fact one of the few soul qualities and soul impulses that already show in the physical world how an underground connection, as it were, exists directly between soul and soul. Schopenhauer draws attention to compassion, one could better say to sympathy. One need only mention the word compassion, compassion, of which Schopenhauer says that it must be present in every soul that can be called moral, and one will feel, firstly, that compassion touches something that is in fact connected to the innermost moral impulse, to that which can really establish morality. On the other hand, one will feel that with the word compassion one has touched something that is an intuition already present in the physical world, a putting oneself into the other soul. For anyone who can look at the world sensibly, proof that there is a physical connection between soul and soul, proof that the spirit with its powers exists between soul and soul, is what can be designated by the word compassion.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Daher legt sich auch für ihn die Seele, die in ihre Tiefen heruntersteigt, nicht so auseinander, daß sie eine Dreiheit von Kräften entwickelt, die den drei Stufen der Erkenntnis — Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition — entspricht, sondern es verschmilzt für ihn alles. Die «Seele» ist ein Nebuloses aller in ihren Tiefen lebenden Kräfte. So kann auch Schopenhauer nicht die moralischen Tugenden auseinanderlegen, deren Ausbildung die Vorbereitung sein muß für eine geistige Schulung: Tatsachensinn als Grundlage der Tugend der Wahrhaftigkeit für die Imagination, Starkmut als Grundlage für das, was zur Inspiration führt, und das dritte — was Schopenhauer gründlich erörtert -, das in den Tiefen der Seele schlummert, und das man im allgemeinen nennen kann Interesse für Umwelt und Umwesen. Aber Schopenhauer macht auf etwas anderes aufmerksam, und hier ist er in einem gewissen Sinne tief genial. Er macht auf das aufmerksam, was in der Tat zu den wenigen Seeleneigenschaften und Seelenimpulsen gehört, die schon in der physischen Welt zeigen, wie eine gleichsam unterirdische Verbindung zwischen Seele und Seele unmittelbar besteht. Schopenhauer macht aufmerksam auf das Mitleid, man könnte besser sagen auf das Mitgefühl. Man braucht ja nur das Wort Mitleid, Mitgefühl erwähnen, von dem Schopenhauer sagt, daß es in jeder Seele vorhanden sein muß, diemoralisch genannt werden kann, so wird man erstens fühlen, daß mit diesem Mitgefühl etwas berührt wird, was in der Tat mit dem innersten moralischen Impuls zusammenhängt, mit dem, was wirklich Moral begründen kann. Auf der anderen Seite wird man fühlen, daß man mit dem Worte Mitgefühl etwas berührt hat, was eine in der physischen Welt schon vorhandene Intuition ist, ein Sich-hinüber-Versetzen der eigenen Seele in die andere Seele. Ein Beweis, daß eine unterphysische Verbindung zwischen Seele und Seele besteht, ein Beweis, daß der Geist mit seinen Kräften zwischen Seele und Seele vorhanden ist, ein Beweis dafür ist für jeden, der die Welt sinnig betrachten kann, das, was mit dem Worte Mitleid bezeichnet werden kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":330,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/62/1913-04-03/p026"}],"english":["GA 62/1913-04-03/p026"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":330,"en_words":337,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8181,"original_word_count":7857,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Results of Spiritual Research","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA062/English/SOL2024/19130403p01.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.
