If it is introduced into the true contemplation of life, it requires a strictly scientific approach. But this strictly scientific approach leads to something completely different from the historical consideration, as we have been accustomed to in school so far, which, as I have shown you in the introductory words, is so inadequate in the most important cases of life assessment. Once we have recognized, in its full significance, that what pulses as historical, moral, and social life in humanity must be considered as it directly works, like dreaming, like sleeping, we will realize that History must become something other than what has been understood by it so far and than even Karl Lamprecht understood it, because he wants to consider the soul of the individual and now apply that which lives in the waking consciousness to the historical consideration. No history comes of it, because one does not approach the dreamy and sleepy impulses of the event with it. And one comes to it least of all when one does what has been done more and more in the course of the nineteenth century, when one, which has led to such great, such powerful results for natural science, which have also been fully recognized by spiritual science completely appreciated by spiritual science, if one wants to apply the scientific way of thinking to history, this scientific way of thinking, which is, after all, a result of the intellectualism of modern times.","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":261,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-05-03/p031","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.

Wird sie eingeführt in die wahrhaftige Betrachtung des Lebens, so erfordert sie eine streng wissenschaftliche Durchführung. Aber diese streng wissenschaftliche Durchführung führt zu etwas ganz, ganz anderem als die geschichtliche Betrachtung, wie wir sie bisher schulmäßig gewöhnt sind, die, wie ich Ihnen in den einleitenden Worten gezeigt habe, gerade in den wichtigsten Fällen der Lebensbeurteilung so im Stiche lässt. Man braucht nur einmal erkannt zu haben im ganzen Umfang seiner Bedeutung, dass dasjenige, was als geschichtliches, als moralisches und soziales Leben in der Menschheit pulsiert, so betrachtet werden muss, wie es unmittelbar wirkt, wie das Träumen, wie das Schlafen, und man wird sich klar werden: Geschichte muss etwas anderes werden, als man bisher darunter verstanden hat und als selbst Karl Lamprecht [darunter verstanden hat], denn er will die Seele des einzelnen Menschen betrachten und nun dasjenige, was also im wachenden Bewusstsein lebt, auf die geschichtliche Betrachtung anwenden. Da kommt keine Geschichte heraus, weil man damit nicht herandringt an die verträumten und verschlafenen Impulse des Geschehens. Und am wenigsten kommt man heran, wenn man das tut, was im Laufe des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts immer mehr und mehr getan worden ist, wenn man das, was für die Naturwissenschaft zu so großen, so gewaltigen, so auch von der Geisteswissenschaft gewiss restlos gewürdigten Ergebnissen geführt hat, wenn man die naturwissenschaftliche Denkungsart auf die Geschichte anwenden will, diese naturwissenschaftliche Denkungsart, die ja so recht ein Ergebnis des Intellektualismus der neueren Zeit ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":255,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/71b/1918-05-03/p031"}],"english":["GA 71b/1918-05-03/p031"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":255,"en_words":261,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9369,"original_word_count":9033,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","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.
