But what these earlier ages had, despite all the mistakes we can easily criticize today, is that in certain epochs they brought the living spirit - not just the spirit of thought - among people. This allowed the existing basis of knowledge to expand to include artistic perception of the world, religious penetration of the innermost self, and social organization of the world. We will only achieve a new social organization of the world, a new religious life, and new artistic works on the basis of knowledge, on which they have always fundamentally stood, when we in turn gain a living knowledge, so that not only the thoughts of the spirit, but the spirit itself lives in humanity. It is this living spirit that Anthroposophy seeks. Anthroposophy does not want to be a theory or a theoretical world view; Anthroposophy wants to be that which can stir the spirit in its liveliness in the life of the human being, that which can permeate the human being not only with knowledge of the spirit, but with the spirit itself.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Was aber diese früheren Zeitalter gehabt haben trotz aller Fehler, die wir heute leicht kritisieren können, das ist, daß sie in gewissen Epochen den lebendigen Geist - nicht bloß den Gedankengeist - unter die Menschen gebracht haben. Dadurch konnte sich das, was als Erkenntnisgrundlage da war, ausdehnen zur künstlerischen Erfassung der Welt, zur religiösen Durchdringung des eigentlichen Inneren, zur sozialen Gestaltung der Welt. Neue soziale Gestaltung der Welt, neues religiöses Leben, neue künstlerische Werke auf der Grundlage der Erkenntnis, auf der sie im Grunde genommen immer gestanden haben, werden wir erst erringen, wenn wir uns wiederum eine lebendige Erkenntnis erringen, so daß nicht nur die Gedanken aus dem Geist, sondern der Geist selber in der Menschheit lebt. Diesen lebendigen Geist, den möchte die Anthroposophie suchen. Die Anthroposophie will nicht eine Theorie oder eine theoretische Weltanschauung sein; Anthroposophie will dasjenige sein, was im Leben des Menschen den Geist in seiner Lebendigkeit rege machen kann, was den Menschen nicht bloß mit Wissen vom Geist, sondern mit dem Geiste selbst durchdringen kann.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":198,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/75/1922-05-11/p068"}],"english":["GA 75/1922-05-11/p069"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":198,"en_words":213,"ratio":1.08,"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.
