Rather, the spiritual researcher is fully aware that, although science has not yet fathomed every mystery in its field, and that much remains to be done before the scientific approach has reached its ideal, the spiritual researcher is also aware that the scientific methods as such have developed, at least up to a certain scientific attitude, in such a way that natural science itself has provided information about what can be deduced from nature, and that further reflection, following on from natural science with the same means of thought that natural science also applies, can lead to nothing more. Natural science is, as it were, something that is so constituted that, as it develops, it leads to a totality, not to something that could be taken and philosophically expounded upon. It is not by taking the results of natural science, combining them and speculating on them that spiritual research intends to proceed, but spiritual research stands in a different relation to natural science. Spiritual research says to itself: Because of the fact that the transition has been made, we say, through Copernicus, through Kepler, through Galileo, with a special way of looking at nature, the soul forces have also entered into a special relationship with natural events. Under the influence of this newer natural science, the human spirit had to relate to nature in a completely different way than it did before. This has given rise to completely different methods of thinking. A completely different kind of relationship to nature has arisen. In the last three to four centuries, people have thought and felt differently about nature than they did before. And by directing the powers of the soul towards nature in a different way, humanity has, so to speak, inwardly exercised these soul powers. The soul forces themselves have thereby carried out a different inner activity than they did before.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.

Der Geistesforscher ist sich vielmehr vollständig klar darüber, dass Naturwissenschaft auf ihrem Gebiete heutzutage zwar noch nicht jedes ihrer Rätsel ergründet hat, dass viel, viel noch zu geschehen hat, bevor die naturwissenschaftliche Betrachtungsweise ihr Ideal erreicht hat; aber der Geistesforscher ist sich zu gleicher Zeit klar darüber, dass die naturwissenschaftlichen Methoden als solche sich heute schon, wenigstens bis zu einer gewissen wissenschaftlichen Gesinnung, so ausgebildet haben, dass die Naturwissenschaft selber über dasjenige, was aus der Natur folgen kann, Auskunft gegeben hat, und dass ein Weiteres, der Naturwissenschaft hinterher nachfolgendes Nachdenken mit denselben Denkermitteln, die die Naturwissenschaft auch anwendet, zu nichts mehr führen könne. Naturwissenschaft ist gewissermaßen etwas, was so veranlagt ist, dass es, indem es sich entwickelt, zu einer Ganzheit führt, nicht zu etwas, was genommen werden könnte und worüber man sich erst philosophisch ergehen könnte. Nicht also, indem man die Resultate der Naturwissenschaft nimmt, sie kombiniert, über sie spekuliert, will Geistesforschung vorgehen, sondern Geistesforschung steht in einem anderen Verhältnisse zur Naturwissenschaft. Geistesforschung sagt sich: Dadurch, dass der Übergang gemacht worden ist, sagen wir, durch Kopernikus, durch Kepler, durch Galilei mit einer besonderen Art der Naturbetrachtung, dadurch sind auch die Seelenkräfte in ein besonderes Verhältnis zu dem Naturgeschehen getreten. In einer ganz anderen Weise musste sich der Menschengeist zu der Natur verhalten unter dem Einflusse dieser neueren Naturwissenschaft, als er sich früher verhalten hat. Dadurch sind ganz andere Denkmethoden entstanden. Es ist eine ganz andere Art des Verhaltens zur Natur entstanden. Man dachte über die Natur, und man fühlte im Grunde genommen auch über die Natur anders in den letzten drei bis vier Jahrhunderten, als man vorher gedacht und gefühlt hat. Und indem die Menschheit eine gewisse Zeit gewissermaßen die Seelenkräfte in einer anderen Art auf die Natur hingeordnet hat, hat sie dadurch diese Seelenkräfte innerlich geübt. Die Seelenkräfte selber haben dadurch eine andere innere Verrichtung vollzogen, als sie früher vollzogen haben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":319,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1916-01-14/p009"}],"english":["GA 70b/1916-01-14/p009"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":319,"en_words":319,"ratio":1.0,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","anchors","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 70b/1916-01-14/p009"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":11706,"original_word_count":11292,"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/SOL2024/19160114p01.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.
