Es gibt Welträtsel, die uns nicht nur dann entgegentreten, wenn wir den Blick auf die großen Ereignisse des Lebens richten, sondern welche uns auf Schritt und Tritt im Alltagsleben auftauchen. Viele derartige Lebensrätsel könnten wir anführen, eines ist dasjenige, welches uns heute beschäftigen soll: die Frage nach dem Ursprung des Bösen. Es ist eines derjenigen Rätsel, welche uns im Alltagsleben begegnen, welche ihre Antwort aber nur finden können, wenn wir zu den Quellen und Ursprüngen des Lebens zurückgehen. Gerade eine solche Frage zeigt uns in der Art, wie sie seit alten Zeiten von der Menschheit behandelt worden ist, dass sie eigentlich nur fruchtbar irgendwie in Angriff genommen werden kann in dem, was wir Geisteswissenschaft oder theosophische Weltanschauung nennen. Ohne jene gewichtigen Ausblicke in die Welt, ohne das Eindringen in die Quellen des Daseins, die uns durch diese Strömung im Kulturleben erfließen kann, ist eine Antwort nicht möglich. Daher werden Sie mit mir einen recht weiten Gang zu den Quellen des Daseins unternehmen müssen, um diese in gewisser Beziehung alltägliche Rätselfrage zu durchschauen. Derjenige, der nur mit der aus dem Materialismus fließenden Gesinnung die Welt anschaut, der den Verlauf der Handlungen mit den Sinnen verfolgt, der kann nicht im Entferntesten eine Beantwortung dieser Frage finden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":208,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/68a/1908-02-20/p003"}],"english":["GA 68a/1908-02-20/p003","GA 68a/1908-02-20/p004"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":208,"en_words":220,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.95,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4934,"original_word_count":5180,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Essence of Christianity","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA068a/English/SOL2024/19080220p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
