As I said, I spoke about this the day before yesterday. You can find more details in my books, such as “Occult Science” and “How to Know Higher Worlds,” or summarized in my book “The Riddle of Man,” and again in my latest book, which will be published in the next few days: “The Riddle of the Soul.” But I would like to emphasize one thing that may be essential for our consideration today: the kind of thinking that is fully justified for scientific ideas must become quite different if human beings want to fully comprehend what I have said and will say. It cannot be grasped with a way of thinking that is rightly applied when dealing with ordinary everyday life. That is not sufficient, for example, in the areas where the impulses of social, moral, legal, and ethical life lie. There, one needs concepts that are related to reality in a much more intense way than scientific concepts. Scientific concepts are characterized precisely by the fact that the reality, the essence, is outside them, that in a certain sense they do not need to delve into the object, to delve into objectivity itself. One cannot penetrate the humanities with these concepts. In order to penetrate the humanities, it is necessary for the concepts to grow together with life, to immerse themselves in life, so that they have such an experience within themselves, feel such an experience vibrating within themselves, as is happening within the things themselves.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Wie gesagt, ich habe vorgestern darüber gesprochen. Das Genauere finden Sie in meinen Büchern, wie in der «Geheimwissenschaft» und «Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten?», oder zusammengefaßt in meinem Buche «Vom Menschenrätsel», auch wiederum jetzt in meinem neuesten Buche, das in diesen Tagen erscheinen wird: «Von Seelenrätseln». Aber eines möchte ich hervorheben, was gerade für unsere heutige Betrachtung wesentlich sein kann: Die Art des Vorstellens, die für die naturwissenschaftlichen Gedanken voll gerechtfertigt ist, muß eine ganz andere werden, wenn der Mensch voll ins Auge fassen will, was ich jetzt gesagt habe und noch sagen werde. Es ist nicht mit einem so geformten Denken zu erfassen, wie man es mit Recht anwendet, wenn man es mit dem gewöhnlichen Tagesleben zu tun hat. Da reicht man nicht hinunter zum Beispiel in die Gebiete, in denen die Impulse des sozialen, sittlichen, juristischen, ethischen Lebens liegen. Man braucht da Begriffe, welche in viel intensiverer Weise mit der Wirklichkeit verwandt sind als die naturwissenschaftlichen Begriffe. Naturwissenschaftliche Begriffe zeichnen sich gerade dadurch aus, daß die Tatsache, das Wesen außer ihnen ist, daß sie in einer gewissen Weise gar nicht darauf angewiesen sind, unterzutauchen in das Objekt, unterzutauchen in die Objektivität selbst. Mit diesen Begriffen kann man nicht in Geisteswissenschaft eindringen. Um in Geisteswissenschaft einzudringen, ist nötig, daß die Begriffe zusammenwachsen mit dem Leben, daß sie untertauchen in das Leben, so daß sie in sich selber solches Erleben haben, in sich selber solches Erleben vibrieren fühlen, wie es in den Dingen selber drinnen vor sich geht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":270,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/72/1917-11-30/p049"}],"english":["GA 72/1917-11-30/p047"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":270,"en_words":263,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":11007,"original_word_count":10852,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"eLib2017","book_title":"Freedom, Immortality and Social Life","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA072/English/eLib2017/19171130p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line"},"entity_parity":{"status":"ok","checked_against":["GA 72/1917-11-30/p049"],"missing_from_translation":[],"present_only_in_translation":[],"bead_confidence":"high","note":"Every load-bearing name in the German counterpart appears in this English passage.
