Only if one feels committed to the knowledge of truth in a certain sense does one do so. For it is, of course, widely believed that such things as have now been expressed are not based on a truly scientific spirit, but on some kind of fantasy or reverie. Only slowly and gradually will humanity learn that this is not fantasy or reverie, but rather a methodical investigation of the spiritual, albeit one that proceeds in a different way than that of natural science. Humanity will learn this in the same way that it once recognized the Copernican worldview, which was also considered fantasy and reverie, as truth. Certain confessions did indeed take until 1822 to accept this Copernican worldview as truth. Hopefully, it will not take so long to recognize these spiritual truths, also for social reasons that cannot be mentioned here today, but which will be mentioned in the lecture I will give in this cycle on the historical life of humanity.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Nur wenn man sich in gewissem Sinne zur Erkenntnis der Wahrheit verpflichtet fühlt, tut man dieses. Denn es besteht ja in weitesten Kreisen selbstverständlich die Meinung, daß solche Dinge, wie sie jetzt ausgesprochen worden sind, nicht auf wirklich wissenschaftlichem Geiste beruhen, sondern auf irgendwelcher Phantastik oder Träumerei. Nur langsam und allmählich wird die Menschheit lernen, daß dies keine Träumerei, keine Phantastik ist, sondern eine, wenn auch auf einem andern Wege alsauf dem der Naturwissenschaft verlaufende, methodische Forschung über das Geistige. Ebenso wird die Menschheit das lernen, wie sie, was auch einmal als Träumerei und Phantastik galt, die kopernikanische Weltanschauung, als Wahrheit eingesehen hat. Gewisse Bekenntnisse haben ja allerdings bis zum Jahre 1822 gebraucht, bis sie diese kopernikanische Weltanschauung als Wahrheit gelten ließen. Hoffentlich wird es nicht so lange dauern mit der Anerkennung dieser geistigen Wahrheiten, auch aus sozialen Gründen, die heute hier nicht angeführt werden können, die angeführt werden sollen in dem Vortrage, den ich in diesem Zyklus über das geschichtliche Leben der Menschheit halten werde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":179,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/67/1918-02-07/p021"}],"english":["GA 67/1918-02-07/p021"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":179,"en_words":175,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8485,"original_word_count":8069,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2018","book_title":"The Eternal in the Human Soul","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA067/English/SOL2018/19180207p01.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.
