Now, however, for the one who thinks in materialistic terms, reality ends precisely where the immortal begins; and since for him reality ends where the immortal begins, he cannot arrive at any concept of this immortality. We see again in David Friedrich Strauß, the representative of materialism in modern times, how strangely these things are thought of. David Friedrich Strauß has a very low opinion of the church fathers. For him, they are dismissed people; but he does remember one of these dismissed people, one of these church fathers, who he liked. He expresses himself somewhat strangely about him, somewhat coarsely, but in a certain sense, cleverly. David Friedrich Strauß gives this characterization mainly because the church father said, “Only that which is not is incorporeal.” — That is also David Friedrich Strauß's conviction: Only that which is not is incorporeal. One might just as well say: what is non-spatial; but “the spiritual — the sublime — does not dwell in space”.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.

Nun allerdings, für denjenigen, der materialistisch denkt, hört dort gerade, wo das Unsterbliche beginnt, die Wirklichkeit auf; und da für ihn dort, wo das Unsterbliche beginnt, die Wirklichkeit aufhört, so kann er zu keinem Begriff von dieser Unsterblichkeit kommen. Wir merken ja wiederum an David Friedrich Strauß, dem Repräsentanten des Materialismus in der neueren Zeit, wie merkwürdig gedacht wird in bezug auf diese Dinge. David Friedrich Strauß hat eine sehr geringe Meinung von Kirchenvätern. Das sind für ihn abgetane Leute; aber er erinnert doch an einen dieser abgetanen Leute, an einen dieser Kirchenväter, der ihm gefallen hat. Er drückt sich etwas merkwürdig über diesen aus, zwar etwas grob, aber doch in gewissem Sinne geistvoll. Diese Charakteristik gibt David Friedrich Strauß hauptsächlich aus dem Grunde, weil jener Kirchenvater gesagt hat: «Unkörperlich ist nur dasjenige, was nicht ist.» — Das ist auch die Überzeugung von David Friedrich Strauß: Unkörperlich ist nur dasjenige, was nicht ist.
