And an important question, which at the same time is a question that can lead us deep into the essence of the process of knowledge, arises when we tie in with what the Greek experienced in tragedy. If we define catharsis in such abstract terms, then it is said, following Aristotle, that tragedy should evoke fear and compassion in the spectator, so that the human soul, by evoking such or similar passions in it, is cleansed of this kind of passion. Now, however, it can be seen – I can only mention this here, the evidence for it can certainly also be found through ordinary science – from everything that is present in Greek tragedy, that thinking about this catharsis, about this artistic crisis, was very closely connected in the Greek mind, for example, with medical thinking.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Wenn man so abstrakt definiert, was die Katharsis ist, so wird ja gesagt in Anknüpfung an Aristoteles, die Tragödie solle beim Zuschauer Furcht und Mitleid erwecken, damit die menschliche Seele, indem solche oder ähnliche Leidenschaften in ihr auftauchen, diese menschliche Seele gereinigt werde von dieser Art Leidenschaftlichkeit. Nun sieht man aber - ich kann das hier nur anführen, die Beweise dafür können durchaus auch durch die gewöhnliche Wissenschaft gefunden werden -, aus allem, was in der griechischen Tragödie vorliegt, daß nämlich das Denken über diese Katharsis, über diese künstlerische Krisis, sehr eng verbunden war im griechischen Wesen zum Beispiel mit dem medizinischen Denken.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":176,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/75/1922-05-11/p022"}],"english":["GA 75/1922-05-11/p023"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":176,"en_words":170,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":16789,"original_word_count":16506,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Relationship between Anthroposophy and the Natural Sciences","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA075/English/SOL2024/19220511p01.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.
