But can we really hope that what is done in this way under the cover of our educational institutions can have a truly fruitful effect when it is carried into the broad masses of the people, when it is realized how the one-sidedness of knowledge and of insight into the individual specialized sciences has contributed to our getting into these catastrophic times, which a certain author has characterized by saying that modern civilization must inevitably sail into its own downfall? Can we still have hope when we realize how much this one-sidedness has contributed to our catastrophes? If we see through this, we must say to ourselves: That which has worked in such a way in a small layer of humanity that it has led into catastrophe must surely lead into catastrophe if it is carried out into the broad masses of humanity. In founding the School of Spiritual Science at Dornach, this insight was the basis for the conviction that it is not only necessary to popularize today's education, to spread it out into the broad masses of humanity, but that the opposite process is also necessary: to bring a new kind of knowledge into our universities, so that something different can come from them than what one cannot really hope to popularize in a way that is particularly fruitful for the broad masses. of bringing a new kind of knowledge into our universities, so that something different can come from these universities than what one cannot really hope will have a particularly fruitful effect on the broad masses if it becomes more popular.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Aus diesem Untergrund der Einsicht heraus ist man bei der Gründung der Dornacher Hochschule für Geisteswissenschaft der Überzeugung gewesen, daß nicht etwa bloß notwendig ist, das heutige Bildungswesen zu popularisieren, es auszubreiten in die weiten Massen der Menschheit, sondern daß auch der andere Prozeß notwendig ist: eine neue Art des Wissens hineinzutragen gerade in unsere Hochschulen, damit von diesen Hochschulen etwas anderes ausgehen könne als das, von dem man nicht gerade hoffen kann, daß seine Popularisierung besonders fruchtbringend in den breiten Massen wirken werde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":235,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/73a/1921-01-14/p007"}],"english":["GA 73a/1921-01-14/p007"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":235,"en_words":282,"ratio":1.2,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8353,"original_word_count":7905,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Scientific Disciplines and Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA073a/English/SOL2024/19210114p01.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.
