I have just given a sample of a philosophical view of a university professor Richard Wahle, who wrote the “Tragicomedy of Wisdom”. I could mention another: the famous Jodl. The man would certainly - he is no longer alive - regard everything that has been said here today, and that is said here at all, as the most complete madness. But he does speak about the soul in the following way: “The soul does not have states or capacities, such as thinking, imagining, joy, hatred, and so on, but these states in their totality are the soul.” Very ingenious! And the whole of Jodl's philosophy is permeated by this ingenuity. Only this definition of the soul is no more valuable than if someone were to say: It is not the table that has corners and edges and a surface, but corners and edges and a surface are the table.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Ich habe eben eine Probe gegeben einer philosophischen Anschauung eines Universitätsprofessors Richard Wahle, der die «Tragikomödie der Weisheit» geschrieben hat. Ich könnte einen anderen nennen: den berühmten Jodl. Der Mann würde ganz gewiß - er lebt nicht mehr - alles, was heute hier ausgesprochen worden ist, und was überhaupt hier ausgesprochen wird, als den vollendetsten Wahnsinn ansehen. Dafür aber spricht er sich über die Seele in der folgenden Weise aus: «Die Seele hat nicht Zustände oder Vermögen, wie Denken, Vorstellen, Freude, Haß und so weiter, sondern diese Zustände in ihrer Gesamtheit sind die Seele.» Sehr geistreich! Und von diesem Geistreichtum ist die ganze Philosophie dieses Jodl durchsetzt. Nur ist diese Definition der Seele nicht mehr wert, als wenn jemand sagt: Nicht der Tisch hat Ecken und Kanten und eine Fläche, sondern Ecken und Kanten und eine Fläche sind der Tisch.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":174,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/66/1917-03-31/p043"}],"english":["GA 66/1917-03-31/p043"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":174,"en_words":186,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10452,"original_word_count":9922,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Mind and Matter — Life and Death","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA066/English/SOL2024/19170331p01.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.
