And such problems become, for a philosophy tied to the brain as its tool, issues at the limits of its cognitive field; from its standpoint, it must indeed come to the conclusion that human knowledge has fundamental limits. In contrast to this, however, it must be pointed out that the human power of cognition undergoes a development that can be accelerated and deepened by one's own effort. When this happens and the problem of evil is approached with the means of spiritual science, a most remarkable solution arises, which may initially appear paradoxical.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"18.

Und solche Probleme werden einer Philosophie, die an das Gehirn als ihr Werkzeug gebunden ist, zu Grenzfragen ihres Erkenntnisgebietes; sie muss ja von ihrem Standpunkt zu dem Ergebnis kommen, dass die menschliche Erkenntnis grundsätzlich ihre Grenzen habe. Demgegenüber aber muss darauf hingewiesen werden, dass die Erkenntniskraft des Menschen eine Entwicklung durchmacht, die ja nach seiner eigenen Anstrengung beschleunigt und vertieft werden kann. Wenn dies geschieht und mit den Mitteln der Geisteswissenschaft an das Problem des Bösen herangetreten wird, so ergibt sich eine höchst merkwürdige Lösung, die zunächst paradox erscheinen mag.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":140,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69d/1914-03-29/p011"}],"english":["GA 69d/1914-03-29/p011"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":140,"en_words":142,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4720,"original_word_count":4546,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Death and Immortality in the Light of Spiritual Science","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA069d/English/SOL2024/19140329p01.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.
