He also spoke about the spirit of Japan, but something quite different emerges from his account. It emerges that this man, who, just as Lamprecht and Grimm in German and Wilson in American life, is steeped in Asian life, must be seen as an educated representative of Asian culture. If you look at this man's life, you get the impression that he wants to explore the content, the original source of Indian and Japanese life, placing less emphasis on what Japan and India have experienced in modern times and instead investigating what the actual sources are. He has a unique way of admiring human culture; Rabindranath Tagore says that there should not really be any history for his people, the human soul should remain untouched in its inner life by what moves people in the immediate present. Its mode of expression extends across the whole earth, and those who look more deeply know that our great catastrophe depends, more than one might think, not on the things on which it is believed to depend so much today, but on the spiritual impulses of the peoples dwelling across the whole earth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The History of Mankind in the Light of Supersensible Reality Research","site_heading":null,"date":"1918-05-29","location":null,"word_count":219,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/71b/1918-05-29/p028","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/SOL2024/19180529p01.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.

Er hat auch gesprochen über den Geist Japans, aber aus seiner Darstellung geht noch etwas ganz anderes hervor. Es geht hervor, dass dieser Mann, der, ebenso wie Lamprecht und Grimm im deutschen und Wilson im amerikanischen Leben, im asiatischen steht, als gebildeter Vertreter der asiatischen Kultur angesehen werden muss. Wer diesen Mann in seinem Leben betrachtet, der bekommt den Eindruck, er möchte den Inhalt, die ursprüngliche Quelle des indischen und japanischen Lebens erforschen, indem er weniger Wert legt auf das, was Japan und Indien in der neueren Zeit erlebt haben, sondern dem nachforscht, was die eigentlichen Quellen sind. Er hat eine eigentümliche Art, die menschliche Kultur zu bewundern; Rabindranath Tagore sagt, es soll für sein Volk eigentlich keine Geschichte geben, es soll die menschliche Seele unberührt bleiben in ihrem inneren Leben von demjenigen, was in der unmittelbaren Gegenwart die Menschen bewegt. Es geht seine Darstellungsart über die ganze Erde, und diejenigen, die tiefer blicken, wissen, dass unsere schwere Katastrophe, mehr als man glaubt, nicht von den Dingen abhängt, von denen sie heute so viel abhängig geglaubt wird, sondern von den seelischen Impulsen der über die ganze Erde wohnenden Völker.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":224,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/71b/1918-05-29/p028"}],"english":["GA 71b/1918-05-29/p028"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":224,"en_words":219,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8851,"original_word_count":8620,"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/SOL2024/19180529p01.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.
