Take, for example, the materialistic, historical-sociological view of the social life of humanity and the course of history presented by Karl Marx and others, which is brilliantly clear to some people. If one follows this social democratic approach, if one follows Marx in his attempt to demonstrate with a certain acumen that everything that happens historically is the result of certain class struggles, that material impulses determine the structure of historical life, then one realizes: One can only understand what Karl Marx says in this area if one knows that he describes realities, albeit one-sidedly.

What emerged up to the age described by Karl Marx—he describes it one-sidedly, but not entirely unjustifiably — what had already been dreamed away by humanity at the moment when he attempts to apply concepts of ordinary consciousness to it, what was reality at the time when humanity was dreaming, is expressed in ordinary concepts. But now it turns out that if the method of spiritual science, which is based on reality, is not applied, then nothing can be found in social processes that can be continued from what one wants to grasp with ordinary consciousness; nothing applicable to further life can be found. Karl Marx's description is correct for a certain one-sidedness of life, for the last few centuries. It is no longer applicable now that humanity has dreamed itself out, has slept off what he describes. It is indeed the case that if one gains concepts that correspond to reality, one cannot say that one can read what is important from external experience, as natural science must do. Anyone who, in any position in life, in any position in life, has to intervene in the social structure must have concepts that correspond to reality.

One must be involved in such a way that one is not dependent on this life giving one something, but that one knows the laws that otherwise only operate in the subconscious and is able to introduce them into life. From imaginative knowledge, from the kind of knowledge that can elevate ordinary abstract ideas to inner vitality in such a way that these ideas are pictorial but also submerged in reality, from this imaginative knowledge emerge all those concepts that can be effective in the future in relation to the social structure. Social experiments have remained so bleak and have caused so many real errors because people believed that social concepts could be understood in the same way as scientific concepts, because these concepts were established in a way that was divorced from reality. From imagination, from immersion in that which is otherwise experienced by ordinary consciousness only as in a dream, can be drawn those impulses needed by anyone who has something to say that can be considered a social idea. Every age is a time of transition. It is, of course, a trivial truth to say again and again that an age is a time of transition; what matters is what is being transitioned. But in our time, instinctive consciousness is transitioning into free, full consciousness that lives under the idea of freedom. The old impulses that came from instinctive consciousness—including Roman law—must be replaced by what provides imagination for social life, inspiration for ethical and moral life, and intuition for legal life.

Nehme ich zum Beispiel die ja manchen Menschen glänzend einleuchtende materialistische, geschichtlich-soziologische Auffassung, die Karl Marx und ähnliche Leute über das soziale Leben der Menschheit und den geschichtlichen Verlauf gegeben haben. Verfolgt man diese sozialdemokratische Betrachtungsweise, verfolgt man bei Marx, wie er wirklich mit einem gewissen Scharfsinn darstellen will, daß alles dasjenige, was geschichtlich geschieht, durch gewisse Klassenkämpfe sich auslebt, daß materielle Impulse das geschichtliche Leben in seiner Struktur bestimmen, dann merkt man: Verstehen kann man dasjenige, was Karl Marx auf diesem Gebiete sagt, nur dann, wenn man weiß, daß er, allerdings einseitig, Wirklichkeiten schildert. Aber was für Wirklichkeiten schildert er? Die Wirklichkeiten schildert er, die damals vergangen waren, als er seine Bücher geschrieben hat!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":179,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/72/1917-11-30/p075"},{"locus":"GA 72/1917-11-30/p076","passage_number":76,"text":"Vom 16. Jahrhundert ab beginnt in der Tat das europäische und das zum Europäischen gehörende Leben so, daß neben dem, was man sonst konventionell in der Geschichte erzählte - Geschichte ist ja doch meist eine Fable convenue, wie sie in den Schulen gelehrt wird -, daß neben dem, was man so erzählt als wirkliche Geschichte, Klassenkämpfe da sind, materielle Impulse da sind. Das, was heraufgekommen ist bis in das Zeitalter, wo Karl Marx schildert - er schildert einseitig, aber er schildert nicht ganz mit Unrecht —, das, was in dem Augenblicke, wo er versucht, Begriffe des gewöhnlichen Bewußtseins darauf anzuwenden, schon ausgeträumt war von der Menschheit, was damals Wirklichkeit war, als die Menschheit geträumt hat, das wird in gewöhnliche Begriffe gefaßt. Aber nun stellt sich heraus: Wird nicht angewendet die Methode der Geisteswissenschaft, die aus der Wirklichkeit heraus ist, dann findet man aus dem, was man so mit gewöhnlichem Bewußtsein erfassen will, nichts in den sozialen Vorgängen für das, was weitergehen kann; man findet nichts Anwendbares für das Weiterleben. Karl Marx’ Schilderung ist richtig für eine gewisse Einseitigkeit des Lebens, für die letzten Jahrhunderte. Sie ist nicht mehr anwendbar, nachdem die Menschheit ausgeträumt, dasjenige ausgeschlafen hat, was er schildert. Es ist tatsächlich so: Wenn man wirklichkeitsgemäße Begriffe gewinnt, so kann man nicht sagen, daß man das, worauf es ankommt, aus der äußeren Erfahrung ablesen könne, wie es die Naturwissenschaft machen muß. Wer in irgendeiner Stellung des Lebens, in irgendeiner Position des Lebens eingreifen muß in die soziale Struktur, der muß wirklichkeitsgemäße Begriffe haben. Aber diese wirklichkeitsgemäßen Begriffe können nicht vom Leben abgelesen werden. Vom Leben abgelesen werden kann nur das, was das gewöhnliche Bewußtsein erfaßt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":275,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/72/1917-11-30/p076"},{"locus":"GA 72/1917-11-30/p077","passage_number":77,"text":"Man muß im sozialen Leben drinnenstehen, wenn man es nicht mit fehlender Wirklichkeit, sondern mit lebendigen Begriffen zu tun haben will. Man muß so drinnenstehen, daß man nicht angewiesen ist darauf, daß einem dieses Leben etwas gibt, sondern daß man die Gesetze kennt, die sonst nur im Unterbewußten walten, und daß man sie einzuführen vermag in das Leben. Aus der imaginativen Erkenntnis, aus derjenigen Erkenntnis, welche das gewöhnliche abstrakte Vorstellen zu innerer Lebendigkeit so zu erheben vermag, daß diese Vorstellungen zwar bildhaft sind, aber dafür in die Wirklichkeit untertauchen, aus dieser imaginativen Erkenntnis gehen alle diejenigen Begriffe hervor, welche in der Zukunft wirksam sein können in bezug auf die soziale Struktur.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":111,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/72/1917-11-30/p077"},{"locus":"GA 72/1917-11-30/p078","passage_number":78,"text":"Die sozialen Versuche sind deshalb so trostlos geblieben, sie haben deshalb so viele reale Irrtümer hervorgerufen, weil man glaubte, die sozialen Begriffe so auffassen zu können, wie man naturwissenschaftliche Begriffe aufstellt, weil man wirklichkeitsfremd diese Begriffe aufstellte.

Jede Zeit ist eine Übergangszeit. Es ist natürlich eine triviale Wahrheit, wenn immer wieder und wieder gesagt wird, eine Zeit ist eine Übergangszeit, es kommt nur darauf an, was übergeht. Aber in unserer Zeit geht das instinktive Bewußtsein über in das freie, in das volle Bewußtsein, das unter der Idee der Freiheit lebt. Da müssen die alten Impulse, die aus dem instinktiven Bewußtsein gekommen sind — auch das römische Recht gehört noch dazu -, sie müssen abgelöst werden von dem, was für das soziale Leben Imagination, für das ethisch-sittliche Leben die Inspiration ergibt, was für das Rechtsleben die Intuition ergibt. Das ist allerdings nicht so bequem, wie wenn man aus dem Abstrakten heraus allerlei Rechtsbegriffe konstruieren will und weiß, weil man ja ein gescheiter Mensch ist, wie die ganze Welt beschaffen sein soll.
