There the representatives of intelligence point to Buddha, to Christ, to Zarathustra, to Pythagoras and so on and say, the human soul faces the big world, it grasps the world in different way. The fact that the supersensible knowledge reaches to the soul was connected with strong courage for existence that caused the consciousness of our connection with the spiritual of the world. Indeed, intelligence leads to understanding on the surface of the things, but it cannot evoke a feeling of inner courage. Thus, we see despondence, feebleness toward the penetration of knowledge as a characteristic feature of our time. Our time praises and emphasises that which science accomplishes. They do that rightly. However, where people believe to think deeper they say that the human being does not come to the primal grounds of the things. Neither Pythagoras, nor Christ, nor Zarathustra would have known how to say something about these primal grounds. Nevertheless, this proves very well that instead of the old knowledge and confidence a knowledge of despondence appeared.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"I.

Da weisen die Vertreter der Intelligenz hin auf Buddha, auf Christus, auf Zarathustra, auf Pythagoras und so weiter und sagen: Da steht die menschliche Seele der großen Welt gegenüber, sie erfaßt in verschiedener Weise die Welt. Das Hineinreichen der übersinnlichen Erkenntnis in die Seele war verbunden mit starkem Mut zum Dasein, der aus der Seele heraus bewirkt hat das Bewußtsein unseres Zusammenhanges mit dem Geistigen der Welt. Die Intelligenz führt zwar an der Oberfläche der Dinge zum Verständnis, ist aber nicht geeignet, ein Gefühl des inneren, seelischen Mutes hervorzurufen. So sehen wir Mutlosigkeit, Kraftlosigkeit gegenüber dem Eindringen der Erkenntnis als ein Charakteristikum unserer Zeit. Unsere Zeit lobt und hebt dasjenige hervor, was die Wissenschaft leisten kann. Das tut sie mit Recht. Aber überall, wo die Leute glauben, tiefer zu denken, da sagen sie, dort hinein, wo das Warum der Dinge spricht, kommt der Mensch nicht. Weder Pythagoras, noch Christus, noch Zarathustra hätten irgend etwas zu sagen gewußt von diesem Warum. Dies beweise doch zur Genüge, daß anstelle der alten Erkenntnis und Zuversicht getreten ist eine Erkenntnis der Mutlosigkeit.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":193,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69a/1911-02-24/p022"}],"english":["GA 69a/1911-02-24/p030"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":193,"en_words":184,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.9,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5626,"original_word_count":6282,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"eLib2017","book_title":"Truths and Errors in Spiritual Research","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA069a/English/eLib2017/19110224p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
