From this artistic point of view, one can see how the Greeks understood therapy, the healing process. He understood it to mean that he assumed that something pathological was forming in the diseased organism. What is forming there - I must, of course, speak in very abstract terms in an introductory lecture - the organism takes up its fight against that. The human organism overcomes the disease within itself by overcoming the disease process through excretion. This is how one thought in the field of pathological therapy. Exactly the same, only raised to a higher level, was the thinking in relation to the artistic process. It was simply thought that what tragedy does is a kind of healing process for the soul. Just as the remnants of a cold come out of the organism, so the soul, through the contemplation of tragedy, should develop fear and compassion, then take up the fight against these products of elimination and experience the healing process in their suppression.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

So kann man von dieser Auffassung des Künstlerischen hinübersehen in die Art, wie der Grieche die Therapie, den Heilungsprozeß aufgefaßt hat. Er hat ihn so aufgefaßt, daß er vorausgesetzt hat, in dem kranken Organismus bilde sich etwas Pathologisches. Was sich da bildet - ich muß natürlich in einem orientierenden Vortrage ganz abstrakt sprechen -, gegen das nimmt der Organismus seinen Kampf auf. Der menschliche Organismus überwindet das Krankhafte in sich, indem er durch die Ausscheidungen den Krankheitsprozeß überwindet. So dachte man auf pathologisch-therapeutischem Gebiete. Genauso, nur auf ein höheres Niveau heraufgehoben, dachte man in bezug auf den künstlerischen Prozeß. Man dachte sich einfach, daß das, was die Tragödie tut, für die Seele eine Art Heilungsprozeß ist. Wie beim Katarrh die Krankheitsreste aus dem Organismus herauskommen, so sollte die Seele durch das Anschauen der Tragödie Furcht und Mitleid in sich entwickeln, dann den Kampf gegen diese Ausscheidungsprodukte aufnehmen und in ihrer Unterdrückung den Gesundungsprozeß erleben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":185,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/75/1922-05-11/p023"}],"english":["GA 75/1922-05-11/p024"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":185,"en_words":196,"ratio":1.06,"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.
