Today, one has little idea of how this happens. For decades, this field has been dealt with in this way, from the abstract. One does not know, for example, how the Western peoples of Europe — as peoples, not as individuals! — have certain soul characteristics, how the peoples of Central Europe, the peoples of Eastern Europe, Asia, have certain other soul characteristics, how these soul characteristics are connected with what these peoples are. Today, in these catastrophic times, when we look more deeply, we often see what only spiritual research can see; we see a sad event passing through humanity in the world that is incomprehensible to the outer consciousness, whose signs speak so clearly, in which humanity can only find its way if it seeks concepts that correspond to reality. Realistic concepts are not those that are modeled on natural science or on waking daytime consciousness when it comes to social, moral, and legal life. Here in Switzerland, a start has been made, a good start in terms of legal concepts; an attempt has been made to extract the concepts of ordinary contractual relationships from concrete reality. In his excellent book “Der Gesamtarbeitsvertrag nach Schweizerischem Recht” (The Collective Bargaining Agreement under Swiss Law), published recently, Dr. Roman Boos has, for the first time in modern times, begun to search for something in concrete reality that belongs to the legal structure.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.
