For what does it actually mean that we have come to such a view of our scientific knowledge? It means that we want to develop our thinking inwardly and, by developing it inwardly, arrive at a certainty and then use it to follow external phenomena, to follow external facts in a lawful way. This principle is now applied to anthroposophy in the appropriate way, in that it is applied to what I would call pure phenomenalism in relation to certain areas of external natural science, in relation to mechanics, physics, chemistry, in relation to everything that does not immediately reach up to life. In the most extreme sense, we hold fast to this phenomenalism for the domains that lie above the inanimate. But we shall see in what way it must be supplemented there by something essentially different.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Denn was liegt denn eigentlich darin, daß wir zu einer solchen Auffassung unseres wissenschaftlichen Erkennens gekommen sind? Darin liegt schon die Anerkennung dessen, daß wir unser Denken innerlich ausbilden wollen und, indem wir es innerlich ausbilden, zu einer Gewißheit kommen und es dann verwenden, um die äußeren Phänomene, um die äußeren Tatsachen gesetzmäßig zu verfolgen. Dieses Prinzip verfolgt nun auf dem Gebiete, wo es angemessen ist, gerade die Anthroposophie, indem sie sich hinwendet zu dem, was ich nennen möchte den reinen Phänomenalismus in bezug auf gewisse Gebiet der äußeren Naturwissenschaft, in bezug auf Mechanik, Physik, Chemie, in bezug auf alles, was zunächst nicht bis zum Leben heraufdringt.
