The mind has the peculiarity that it is, so to speak, a self-contained entity in itself and also in its setting in the human personality. It does not go beyond the boundaries of the human personality. I would like to say: Descartes also remains in a sense in thinking. He does not stimulate in himself the other powers of the soul, those powers of the soul through which we can let the whole human being flow into nature and its secrets, in order to feel and sense this nature and to live with it. Descartes remains in thinking, remains in ratio. This characterizes his entire world view. The characterization, which is particularly characterized, dear attendees, by the fact that Cartesius, by only focusing on self-assurance - on what his own thinking assures him of as certain - comes to believe that animals are only living machines. They are not ensouled like humans. The thinking that has become fixed in one's own personality - I would like to say - does not find the way out of itself to submerge lovingly into the outer nature. It does not even reach as far as the soul for the animal world. Soul-less machines, mechanisms, moving machines are the animals. [He penetrates even less to the essence of the other nature. To arrive at certainty, realism withdraws the means by which it could penetrate to the soul of all the rest of nature. One would like to say: This world view wanted to secure human truth; and in this way it secured it, that it renounced a way of living in nature.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Der Verstand hat das Eigentümliche, dass er gewissermaßen eine in sich selbst und auch auf seinen Schauplatz in der menschlichen Persönlichkeit beschlossene Wesenheit ist. Er kommt nicht über die Grenze der menschlichen Persönlichkeit hinaus. Ich möchte sagen: Descartes bleibt auch in gewissem Sinne im Denken. Er regt nicht an in sich die anderen Seelenkräfte, jene Seelenkräfte, durch die wir das ganze menschliche Wesen hineinfließen lassen können in die Natur und ihre Geheimnisse, um diese Natur zu erfühlen und zu empfinden und mit ihr selbst zu leben. Descartes bleibt im Denken, bleibt in der Ratio. Das gibt seinem ganzen Weltenbild das Gepräge. Das Gepräge, das insbesondere dadurch sich charakterisiert, sehr verehrte Anwesende, dass Cartesius, indem er nur auf die Selbstgewissheit ausgeht — auf das, was ihm das eigene Denken als gewiss verbürgt —, dazu kommt, zu glauben, die Tiere seien nur lebendige Maschinen. Sie seien nicht beseelt wie der Mensch. Das Denken, das sich in der eigenen Persönlichkeit - ich möchte sagen - festgelegt hat, findet nicht den Weg aus sich selber heraus, um unterzutauchen liebevoll in die äußere Natur. Es kommt nicht einmal bis zu der Seele für die Tierwelt. Seelenlose Maschinen, Mechanismen, bewegte Maschinen sind die Tiere. [Noch weniger dringt er zum Wesen der anderen Natur vor. Um zur Gewissheit zu kommen, entzieht sich der Realismus das Mittel, mit dem er zum Seelenhaften der ganzen übrigen Natur vordringen könnte.] Man möchte sagen: Sichern wollte diese Weltanschauung die menschliche Wahrheit; und in dieser Weise hat sie sie gesichert, dass sie verzichtet hat auf ein Sicheinleben in die Natur.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":278,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1915-11-25/p020"}],"english":["GA 70b/1915-11-25/p020"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":278,"en_words":289,"ratio":1.04,"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.
