And this is also the case with the one who has recognized the true nerve of spiritual research; he sees what it actually means for the spiritual development of the world that such profound and exact scientific methods have emerged in the course of recent times, methods that are so suitable to eliminate all that may be illusion about the world, all that may be fantasy about the world, simply by developing a certain sense of fact, which can only lead to spiritual research if a sense of fact becomes a fact [fanaticism]. That inner discipline of the soul that humanity has been able to acquire by bringing thinking so close to the external objective course of facts, this inner discipline of the soul is highly recognized by spiritual research as something exemplary. For in this way something enters into the whole structure of thinking by which the soul says to itself: You must not follow as truth that which lives subjectively in you, that which you would like to believe to be true, that which you like; you must refrain from all that which speaks in you out of your liking, out of your sympathy, out of your affections: you must let purely the world of facts itself speak for itself. In particular, by moving from mere observation in natural science to experiments - whereby nature expresses its secrets in compiled facts and one is only a spectator - in particular, by doing so, humanity, which has gradually absorbed the scientific attitude into its world view, has earned a certain respect for the fact - and, connected with that, for the inner discipline of truth-seeking.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.

Und das ist auch der Fall bei demjenigen, der den wahren Nerv der Geistesforschung erkannt hat; der sieht ein, was es eigentlich für die geistige Weltenentwicklung bedeutet, dass diese so gründlichen, so exakten naturwissenschaftlichen Methoden im Laufe der neueren Zeit heraufgekommen sind, jene Methoden, die so geeignet sind, alles, was Illusion über die Welt sein kann, alles, was Phantasterei sein kann über die Welt, auszuschalten einfach dadurch, dass man einen gewissen Tatsachensinn entwickelt, der nur dann nicht zu Geistesforschung führen kann, wenn aus einem Tatsachensinn ein Tatsachen[Fanatismus] wird. Jene innere Disziplin des Seelenlebens, die sich die Menschheit aneignen konnte dadurch, dass das Denken so eng herangeführt worden ist an den äußeren objektiven Verlauf der Tatsachen, diese innere Disziplin des Seelenlebens erkennt Geistesforschung gerade in höchstem Maße als etwas Vorbildliches an. Denn dadurch kommt in das ganze Gefüge des Denkens etwas hinein, wodurch sich die Seele sagt: Du darfst nicht dem, was in Dir subjektiv lebt, dem, was Du für wahr halten möchtest, dem, was Dir gefällt, als Wahrheit nachgehen; Du musst absehen von alledem, was also in Dir aus Deinem Gefallen, aus Deiner Sympathie, aus Deinen Affekten heraus spricht: Du musst rein die Tatsachenwelt selber für sich sprechen lassen. Insbesondere dadurch, dass man von der bloßen Beobachtung in der Naturwissenschaft übergegangen ist zu den Experimenten - wodurch man die Natur in zusammengestellten Tatsachen selber ihre Geheimnisse aussprechen lässt und nur der Zuschauer ist -, insbesondere dadurch hat die Menschheit, die allmählich aufgenommen hat die naturwissenschaftliche Gesinnung in ihr Weltanschauungsleben, eine gewisse Achtung sich erworben vor der Tatsache - und damit verbunden, vor der inneren Disziplin des Wahrheitsforschens.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":290,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1916-01-14/p011"}],"english":["GA 70b/1916-01-14/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":290,"en_words":309,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"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.
