However grotesque and paradoxical it may still appear to modern man, in this field of spiritual science we can only go beyond this kind of knowledge, insofar as it is agnostic, if we rise to truly intuitive knowledge and thus to the experience of the human being. We humans today actually pass each other by. We judge each other in the most superficial way. Social demands arise as we develop precisely the old social instincts most strongly. But an inner, social soul mood will only come about if the intuitions from a spiritual world permeate us with life. In the age of agnosticism, we have necessarily come to see everything spiritual more or less only in ideas. However, ideas, insofar as they are in ordinary consciousness, are not alive. Today's philosophers speak to us of logical ideas, of aesthetic ideas, of ethical ideas. We can observe them all, we can experience them all inwardly and theoretically, but they have no impulsive power for life. The ideas only become a reality of life when they are wrung out in intuitive experience of the spiritual. We cannot achieve social redemption and liberation, nor can we imbue our lives with a religiosity that is appropriate for us, if we do not come to an intuitive, vitalized grasp of the spiritual.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

So grotesk und paradox es dem heutigen Menschen noch erscheinen mag, auf diesem Gebiet der Geisteswissenschaft kommt man über diese Erkenntnisart, insofern sie agnostisch ist, nur hinaus, wenn man sich zur wirklich intuitiven Erkenntnis erhebt und damit zum Erleben des Menschenwesens. Wir Menschen gehen heute eigentlich aneinander vorbei. Wir beurteilen uns höchst äußerlich. Es treten soziale Forderungen auf, indem wir gerade die alten sozialen Instinkte am stärksten entwickeln. Aber eine innere, soziale Seelenstimmung wird nur dadurch kommen, daß uns die Intuitionen aus einer geistigen Welt lebensvoll durchdringen. Wir haben im agnostischen Zeitalter notwendigerweise dazu kommen müssen, alles Geistige mehr oder weniger nur in den Ideen zu sehen. Die Ideen, insofern sie im gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein sind, leben aber nicht. Der heutige Philosoph spricht uns von logischen Ideen, von ästhetischen Ideen, von ethischen Ideen. Sie alle können wir beobachten, sie alle können wir innerlich theoretisch erleben - sie haben aber keine Impulskraft für das Leben. Die Ideen bekommen erst Lebenswirklichkeit, indem sie sich aufringen zum intuitiven Erleben des Geistigen. Wir können nicht zu einer sozialen Erlösung und Befreiung kommen, und wir können auch unser Leben nicht mit einer uns angemessenen Religiosität durchdringen, wenn wir nicht zu einer intuitiven, lebensvollen Erfassung des Geistigen kommen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":226,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/75/1922-05-11/p066"}],"english":["GA 75/1922-05-11/p067"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":226,"en_words":242,"ratio":1.07,"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.
