Certainly, it appears that way; but two things must be emphasized. I can only hint at these two things, but they could also be explained further if one goes into the phenomena that were just pointed out. So great, so powerful was the will in this striving for the world view of German idealism, in the time of Germany, which was the most significant time of idealistic struggle – as our present time will undoubtedly appear as the most significant time of real struggle – so this world view of German idealism in Germany's most ideal time seems to present itself to our minds that we can say: What the people who have endeavored to achieve worldviews and the most diverse tasks in the nineteenth century and up to the present day within our culture have done, was to try to penetrate from different points in order to understand these individual representatives of the worldview of German idealism more precisely. Even their opponents were always somehow trying to penetrate this world view from different angles, at least to fight and struggle with it. And whatever world views and attitudes towards life have developed since then, we can feel the pulse of German idealism everywhere, even from opposing points of view. We can feel it to this day. We feel it as something that belongs to the best of the German character, to that which is realized in this German character. We feel it as one of the most characteristic expressions of the German essence. We feel it as that which symptomatically denotes the greatness and power of the German mission, and which may be so designated because there is truly in such a designation a striving that cannot make this designation appear as megalomania, but that the fullest modesty is connected with this characteristic.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Gewiss, so erscheint es auch; aber es muss Zweierlei betont werden. Ich kann dieses Zweierlei nur andeuten, aber es könnte auch weiter ausgeführt werden, wenn man auf die Erscheinungen weiter eingeht, auf die eben hingedeutet werden sollte. So groß, so gewaltig war das Wollen in diesem Streben nach dem Weltbild des Deutschen Idealismus, in der Zeit Deutschlands, die die bedeutendste Zeit des idealistischen Ringens war — wie unsere gegenwärtige Zeit zweifellos als die bedeutsamste einstmals erscheinen wird des realen Ringens -, so scheint dieses Weltbild des Deutschen Idealismus in Deutschlands idealster Zeit vor unsere Seele sich hinzustellen, dass wir sagen können: Was die Menschen, die um die Weltanschauungen und die verschiedensten Aufgaben im neunzehnten Jahrhundert und bis heute innerhalb unserer Kultur sich bemüht haben, was sie getan haben, es war, dass sie versuchten, von verschiedenen Punkten aus einzudringen, um diese einzelnen Vertreter des Weltbildes des Deutschen Idealismus genauer zu begreifen. Selbst die Gegner, sie waren immer irgendwie beschäftigt, da oder dort einzudringen, wenigstens um sich herumzuschlagen, um sich kämpfend herumzuschlagen mit diesem Weltbild des Deutschen Idealismus. Und dasjenige, was sich seither an Weltanschauungen und Lebensanschauungen entwickelt hat, wir fühlen selbst bei den gegnerischen Gesichtspunkten überall den Pulsschlag dieses Weltbildes des Deutschen Idealismus. Wir fühlen ihn bis heute in unsere Tage herein. Wir fühlen ihn als etwas, was zum Besten des deutschen Wesens, desjenigen gehört, was sich in diesem deutschen Wesen auslebt. Wir fühlen ihn als einen der charakteristischsten Ausdrücke des deutschen Wesens. Wir fühlen ihn als dasjenige, was symptomatisch bezeichnet die Größe und Kraft der deutschen Sendung, und was als solches bezeichnet werden darf, weil wirklich in solcher Bezeichnung ein Streben liegt, das nicht diese Bezeichnung als Größenwahn erscheinen lassen kann, sondern dass die vollste Bescheidenheit bei dieser Charakteristik mit dieser Charakteristik verbunden ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":323,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1915-11-25/p053"}],"english":["GA 70b/1915-11-25/p053"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":323,"en_words":331,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"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.
