But it is precisely this judgment that is very instructive, and you have seen from the words I have mentioned before that, in my way of looking at things, Wilson is not a particularly likeable personality; but nevertheless, as I delved deeper and deeper into what actually underlies his way of thinking, something very peculiar presented itself to me. I had to ask myself: What about the peculiar impact of Woodrow Wilson's historical judgment? I tried to remember, to compare with the historical judgment of a personality whom I particularly appreciate and who has grown out of the latest phase of German intellectual life, I tried to compare Wilson with the peculiar way of his sentence formation and so on with Hermann Grimm, who only looked at history in terms of artistic phenomena. But he himself once explained to me, when I spoke to him personally, how he actually had in mind a comprehensive historical view that really, as far as he was able, wanted to go into a kind of intellectual grasp, intellectual consideration of the world of facts. I had to compare – the subject itself demanded it – some of Wilson's work with some of Hermann Grimm's.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Man and the Historical and Moral Life of Humanity according to the Results of Spiritual Science","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-05-03","location":null,"word_count":206,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-05-03/p022","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Human Being as a Spirit and Soul Being","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA071b/English/SOL2024/19180503p01.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.

Ich musste mich fragen: Wie steht es mit der eigenartigen Schlagkraft des geschichtlichen Urteils bei Woodrow Wilson? Ich versuchte mich zu erinnern, zu vergleichen mit dem geschichtlichen Urteil einer Persönlichkeit, die ich ganz besonders schätze und die so recht gerade aus der neuesten Phase des deutschen Geisteslebens herausgewachsen ist, ich versuchte, Wilson mit der eigentümlichen Art seiner Satzformierung und so weiter zu vergleichen mit Hermann Grimm, der ja nur Geschichte betrachtet hat mit Bezug auf Kunsterscheinungen. Er hat mir aber selbst einmal, als ich persönlich mit ihm gesprochen habe, auseinandergesetzt, wie er eigentlich im Sinne hatte eine umfassende Geschichtsbetrachtung, die wirklich, soweit es ihm möglich war, auf eine Art geistige Erfassung, geistige Betrachtung der Tatsachenwelt eingehen wollte.
