One could call him a follower of Schopenhauer, if one observes things outwardly. In a certain sense he was a deep spirit, but a child of his time, so that he could only look upward to what the material world exposes. Now materialism worked indeed, enormously to imprison precisely the very best souls: we should not be deceived about this. Yes, the humans, who are not concerned with what is around them, what the times and their spirit offer, and who live selfishly in a religious confession that they have once found pleasant, the “most religious” people are sometimes in this point the most selfish of all; they reject any rising above the things which they love, and do not concern themselves about anything else, other than what they know. One can find this answer again and again, if one refers to the tragedy of numberless human beings: yes, cannot old Christianity satisfy souls much more than your spiritual science? Such questions are put by spirits who do not go along with the times and intolerantly reject everything that should penetrate into cultural development for the salvation of mankind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

Man kann ihn, wenn man die Dinge äußerlich betrachtet, einen Nachfolger Schopenhauers nennen. Zu einer eigenartigen Weltanschauung kam Mainländer. Er war im gewissen Sinne ein tiefer Geist, aber ein Kind seiner Zeit, das also nur hinschauen konnte auf das, was die Welt materiell darbietet. Nun wirkte ja, darüber soll man sich nicht täuschen, dieser Materialismus gerade auf die besten Seelen ungeheuer gefangennehmend. Ja, die Menschen, die sich nicht um das kümmern, was die Zeit und ihr Geist bieten, die egoistisch dahinleben in einem religiösen Bekenntnis, das ihnen einmal lieb geworden ist, die «religiösesten» Leute sind manchmal in diesem Punkte die alleregoistischsten; jedes Hinausgehen über die Dinge, in die sie sich eingelebt haben, lehnen sie ab, kümmern sich nicht um anderes, als ihnen bekannt ist. Man kann immer wieder, wenn man auf die Tragik unzähliger Menschen hinweist, die Antwort bekommen: Ja, kann denn nicht das alte Christentum die Seelen viel besser befriedigen als eure Geisteswissenschaft? Solche Fragen stellen Geister, die nicht mitgehen mit der Zeit und sich intolerant auflehnen gegen alles, was zum Heil der Menschheit in die Kulturentwickelung eindringen soll.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":206,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/63/1914-01-15/p043"}],"english":["GA 63/1914-01-15/p039"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":206,"en_words":218,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.07,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10981,"original_word_count":10241,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"eLib2015","book_title":"Spiritual Science as a Life's Work","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA063/English/eLib2015/19140115p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
