Now, however, those who cannot be satisfied with the philosophy that has been overthrown and deified are again looking for an impetus to bring philosophy back to the old podium on which it stood in Greece. And I believe that anthroposophy, as developed for us by Dr. Rudolf Steiner, is an attempt to shape the synthesis in such a way that, although it only recognizes natural science in the preliminary stages and makes every effort not to object to its exactness, it then goes beyond it to penetrate into the supersensible realm. However, the step into the supersensible world seems to me to be based on very weak foundations, especially since Dr. Rudolf Steiner works with concepts such as preexistence. Those who have more time could ask more pointed questions about what he means by this preexistence or what he has to say about the “post-mortem” life, about life after death.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Nun suchen aber diejenigen, die sich nicht zufrieden geben können mit der so gestürzten und entgötterten Philosophie, wieder einen Anstoß, um die Philosophie zurückzutragen auf das alte Podium, auf dem sie in Griechenland gestanden hat. Und ich glaube, daß die Anthroposophie, wie sie Dr. Rudolf Steiner vor uns entwickelt hat, ein Versuch ist, die Synthese so zu gestalten, daß er zwar erst in den Vorstufen die Naturwissenschaft anerkennt und sich Mühe gibt, nichts gegen ihre Exaktheit einzuwenden, um aber dann über sie hinaus in das übersinnliche Gebiet einzudringen. Was nun der Schritt in die übersinnlichen Welten ist, scheint mir allerdings auf einer sehr schwachen Grundlage zu stehen, um so mehr, als Dr. Rudolf Steiner mit Begriffen arbeitet wie Präexistenz. Wer mehr Zeit hätte, könnte schärfer daraufhin fragen, was er sich unter dieser Präexistenz denkt oder was er über das «post mortem»-Leben, über das Leben nach dem Tode zu verzapfen hätte.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":177,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/75/1922-05-11/p075"}],"english":["GA 75/1922-05-11/p076"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":177,"en_words":177,"ratio":1.0,"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.
