Let us take Giordano Bruno; he who fell victim to the fanaticism of the opposing world view of the sixteenth century. When we let the peculiar world-view of this man take effect on us, we feel in this personality the echo of what comes to us from Dante. We feel in it, in the world-view of Giordano Bruno, the echo of what comes to us in colors and in the richness of form from the painting of Raphael or Michelangelo. What do we find in all this? Just when you delve into the way in which Giordano Bruno presents himself to the world, how he presents himself to the world - placing himself in it, surveying the whole universe, breaking through what the medieval world view still saw as an outer boundary - how he breaks through the firmament of the space and pointing out into the infinite, as he could do it through his sensory activity inspired by inner feeling, so we can say to ourselves: He has conjured up this image of the world, which is as much scientific as artistic, out of direct perception, out of the same inner soul activity through which Dante, by virtue of his feelings, conjured that which he felt for the individual members of his people into the mighty image he created of the spiritual worlds into which the soul passes through the gate of death according to his vision. The essential thing – today we can only touch on this – in Giordano Bruno's world view, and also in the world view that his predecessor – from whom he adopted much, Telesius had, and also in the world view that Galileo wove into his world view, we see everywhere that the main emphasis is on directing the human being's attention to what external perceptions [and what] the sensory world gives. To explore this sensual world in such a way that one also uses all the powers of the mind, that is, the powers of the mind or soul, the powers of the consciousness soul, in order to achieve the sensual image in perfection. We see this as a task that opens up for us in this field of the culture of the national soul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1. The World View Of German Idealism.

Nehmen wir Giordano Bruno; er, welcher dem Fanatismus der ihm gegenteiligen Weltanschauung des sechzehnten Jahrhunderts zum Opfer gefallen ist. Wenn wir die eigentümliche Weltanschauung dieses Mannes auf uns wirken lassen - wir fühlen in dieser Persönlichkeit nachklingen und nachtönen dasjenige, was uns entgegenkommt aus Dante. Wir fühlen in ihr, in der Giordano Bruno’schen Weltanschauung, wiederklingen dasjenige, was uns in Farben, in Formenreichtum aus der Malerei eines Raffael, eines Michelangelo entgegenkommt. Was finden wir in alledem? Gerade wenn man sich vertieft in die Art und Weise, wie sich Giordano Bruno zur Welt stellt, wie er sich in die Welt stellt - sich hineinstellt, das ganze Weltall überblickend, durchbrechend dasjenige, was die mittelalterliche Weltanschauung noch gesehen hat wie eine äußere Grenze -, wie die Firmamentgrenze des Weltalls durchbrechend und in den unendlichen Raum hinauszeigend, so wie er es konnte durch seine von innerer Empfindung beseelte Sinneswirksamkeit, so können wir uns sagen: Er hat dieses Weltenbild, das ebenso ein wissenschaftliches wie ein künstlerisches ist, aus der unmittelbaren Empfindung herausgezaubert, aus derselben inneren Seelentätigkeit, durch welche Dante dasjenige, was er vermöge seiner Empfindungen gefühlt hat, zu den einzelnen Angehörigen seines Volkes hineingezaubert hat in das gewaltige Bild, das er entworfen hat von den geistigen Welten, in welche die Seele durch die Todespforte nach seiner Anschauung gehe. Das Wesentliche - es kann das heute nur berührt werden -, an Giordano Brunos Weltanschauung, auch an derjenigen Weltanschauung, die sein Vorgänger - von dem er vieles übernommen hat, die Telesius hatte, auch in derjenigen Weltanschauung, die Galilei in sein Weltbild hineinverwebte, wir sehen überall, dass hauptsächlich betont wird, das Augenmerk des Menschen darauf zu richten, was die äußeren Wahrnehmungen[, was] die Sinnenwelt gibt. Diese Sinnenwelt so zu erforschen, dass man auch alle Kräfte des Verstandes, also Kräfte der Verstandes- oder Gemütsseele, Kräfte der Bewusstseinsseele dazu verwendet, um das sinnliche Bild in Vollkommenheit zu erlangen. Das sehen wir als eine Aufgabe, die sich uns auf diesem Gebiet der Volksseelenkultur eröffnet.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":342,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1915-11-25/p017"}],"english":["GA 70b/1915-11-25/p017"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":342,"en_words":394,"ratio":1.15,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":13536,"original_word_count":12814,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Ways to a Knowledge of the Eternal Forces of the Human Soul","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA070b/English/SOL2024/19151125p01.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.
