This external sense world is permanent, it is something that cannot create itself, and is therefore less real than the I, which is constantly creating itself. Why then does the I, this absolutely creative I, enter the less real sense world? Because this I, with the ideas, the ideals, with the moral duty - which flows into the ideas, the ideals, into this I - needs a field of activity to live itself out. For Fichte, the world of the senses is not there for its own sake, but, as he says, as a sensitized material for the reception of duty, that is, of ideas and ideals. For Fichte, the world is there because duties, ideas, and ideals are paramount in spiritual life, and because these ideas and ideals need a world of the senses in order to be active. Thus the world of sense must be there as the consequence of ideas and ideals. Today we need not go into what we have on our soul, perhaps against the scope or the fundamental truth of such a world view; we only want to go into the way of the people's striving. We want to go into what strives within the soul power of the people to recognize the truth. We want to trace the character of this popular striving in the time that preceded the one in which the German people created their state, the external structure of their activity, which they must now defend with blood and arms, but which they created because they drew the strength to do so from what preceded this state, but which is rooted in the deepest peculiarity of the German national soul. And from this point of view, let us also direct our gaze to the man who has now continued Fichte in a certain way, who has worked alongside Fichte, after Fichte, the much-tried Schelling.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Diese äußere Sinnenwelt ist ein Dauerndes, ist ein solches, das sich nicht schaffen kann, folglich ein nicht so Wirkliches, wie das sich immer fortwährend schaffende Ich, ein weniger Wirkliches. Warum tritt dann das Ich, dieses absolut schöpferische Ich, in das hereinfließt das göttlich Ideal, warum tritt es in die weniger wirkliche Sinnenwelt? Weil dieses Ich mit den Ideen, den Idealen, mit der moralischen Pflicht - die in den Ideen, den Idealen, in dieses Ich hereinfließt -, ein Betätigungsfeld braucht, um sich auszuleben. Die Sinnenwelt ist nicht da für Fichte um ihrer selbst willen, sondern, wie er sagt, als versinnlichtes Materielles für die Aufnahme der Pflicht, das heißt der Ideen und der Ideale. Für Fichte ist die Welt da, weil gebietend im geistigen Leben die Pflichten, die Ideen, die Ideale stehen, und weil diese Ideen, diese Ideale brauchen eine Sinnenwelt, um sich zu betätigen. So muss die Sinnenwelt als die Konsequenz der Ideen und Ideale da sein. Wir brauchen heute nicht auf dasjenige einzugehen, was wir auf der Seele haben vielleicht gegen den Geltungsbereich oder den Grundwahrheitscharakter einer solchen Weltanschauung, wir wollen nur eingehen auf die Art und Weise des Volksstrebens. Wir wollen eingehen auf dasjenige, was innerhalb der Seelenkraft des Volkes strebt, um die Wahrheit zu erkennen. Wir wollen den Charakter dieses Volksstrebens verfolgen in jener Zeit, die vorangegangen ist derjenigen, in der das deutsche Volk sich seinen Staat, das äußere Gefüge seiner Betätigung geschaffen hat, für die es jetzt mit Blut und Waffentaten eintreten muss, den es sich aber geschaffen hat, weil es denn doch die Kraft dazu entnommen hat demjenigen, was diesem Staat vorangegangen ist, was aber wurzelt in der tiefsten Eigentümlichkeit der deutschen Volksseele. Und von diesem Gesichtspunkte aus wollen wir auch unsern Seelenblick richten über den Mann, der nun Fichte fortgesetzt hat in einer gewissen Weise, der neben Fichte, nach Fichte gewirkt hat, den vielangefochtenen Schelling.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":322,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1915-11-25/p039"}],"english":["GA 70b/1915-11-25/p039"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":322,"en_words":330,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","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.
