Those who work from their natural science will truly intensify their penetration into spiritual science, if they still have the strength for it, which Haeckel, of course, already lacks today. But something will become clear: that, dear attendees, in the future people will look at nature and let what science has to say about nature take effect on them. Today there are still many who believe that what science has to say are results that only need to be summarized, and then a worldview is formed; and that is where it must stop. Those who believe this call themselves monists and so on. But the time will come when what the natural sciences give will not be regarded as mere results, but when it will be recognized that what the natural sciences give leads to further questions, indeed only to the right questions, where every scientific book studied for the purposes and goals of knowledge will not seduce people into remaining vainly in what science gives, but will lead them to questions, to a higher need for knowledge. The time is approaching when the study of science will raise questions, not seduce people into remaining with the results of mere science. The need will arise from the study of natural science to approach the study of the spirit. Natural science will create a need in the human soul, and spiritual science will satisfy this need. Just as needs arise in the human soul and are satisfied by what the course of the world gives, so natural science and spiritual science will work together like the creation of needs and the satisfaction of needs. Natural science will provide that which organizes itself as a sensual reality and develops need; spiritual science will provide that which serves this need. Just as the plant grows out of the earth, out of the substance of the earth, leaning towards the light, having the need for light, just as the light meets it, warming and shining, the power of the sun penetrates into the plant and makes the plant's life possible in the first place as a unified, harmonious life, so in the future, the needs that develop from natural science will appear as what grows out of the soil of the earthly, and what spiritual science is able to offer will be what illuminates and warms this earthly. Matter will seek the light, the light will seek the matter. Natural science will stand by itself as a higher, more refined material. Spiritual science will be there to warm and illuminate this material world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.

Wahrhaft intensiv wird gerade der, der aus seiner Naturwissenschaft heraus arbeitet, in die Geisteswissenschaft hineindringen, wenn er noch die Kräfte dazu hat, die ja Haeckel selbstverständlich heute schon fehlen. Aber etwas wird sich herausstellen: Dass, sehr verehrte Anwesende, dass die Menschen in der Zukunft die Natur betrachten werden, [dass sie] auf sich wirken lassen werden das, was die Naturwissenschaft über die Natur zu sagen hat. Heute gibt es noch viele, die da glauben, was die Naturwissenschaft zu sagen hat, das seien Ergebnisse, die man nur zusammenzufassen brauche, dann gäbe es eine Weltanschauung; und dabei müsse man stehen bleiben. Diejenigen, die dies glauben, nennen sich Monisten und so weiter. Aber die Zeit wird kommen, wo man das, was die Naturwissenschaften geben, nicht als Ergebnisse allein betrachten wird, sondern wo man gerade einsehen wird, dass das, was die Naturwissenschaften geben, zu weiteren Fragen führt, ja erst zu den richtigen Fragen führt, wo jedes naturwissenschaftliche Buch, das zu Erkenntniszwecken und Erkenntniszielen studiert wird, nicht den Menschen verführen wird, eitel dabei stehen zu bleiben, was die Naturwissenschaft gibt, sondern ihn zu Fragen führen wird, zu höherem Erkenntnisbedürfnis führen wird. Die Zeit nähert sich, wo das Studium der Naturwissenschaft gerade Fragen aufwerfen wird, nicht den Menschen dazu verführen wird, bei den Ergebnissen der bloßen Naturwissenschaft stehen zu bleiben. Das Bedürfnis wird sich aus dem Studium der Naturwissenschaft ergeben, an die Erforschung des Geistes heranzutreten. Naturwissenschaft wird in der menschlichen Seele ein Bedürfnis erzeugen, und Geisteswissenschaft wird dieses Bedürfnis befriedigen. Wie sonst in der menschlichen Seele Bedürfnisse entstehen und sie befriedigt werden können durch das, was der Gang der Welt gibt, so werden Naturwissenschaft und Geisteswissenschaft zusammenwirken wie Bedürfnis-Erzeugung und Bedürfnis-Befriedigung. Naturwissenschaft wird das geben, was wie eine sinnliche Realität sich organisiert und Bedürfnis entwickelt; Geisteswissenschaft wird dasjenige geben, was diesem Bedürfnisse dient. Wie die Pflanze aus der Erde wächst, aus dem Stoff der Erde dem Lichte sich zuneigt, das Bedürfnis nach Licht hat, wie das Licht ihr entgegentritt, wärmend und leuchtend die Sonnenkraft in die Pflanze hineindringt und das Leben der Pflanze erst möglich macht als ein einheitlich harmonisches Leben, so werden in der Zukunft diejenigen Bedürfnisse, die sich aus der Naturwissenschaft heraus entwickeln, wie dasjenige erscheinen, was aus dem Boden des Irdischen herauswächst, und dasjenige was Geisteswissenschaft zu bieten vermag, wird das dieses Irdische Überleuchtende und Erwärmende sein. Der Stoff wird das Licht suchen, das Licht wird den Stoff suchen. Naturwissenschaft wird selber wie ein höheres, verfeinertes Stoffliches dastehen. Geisteswissenschaft wird dazu da sein, dieses Stoffliche zu durchwärmen, zu erleuchten.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":443,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/70b/1916-01-14/p047"}],"english":["GA 70b/1916-01-14/p048"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":443,"en_words":455,"ratio":1.03,"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.
