How can something that is just a simple description not be justified? I have done nothing but describe, and that is precisely what I do in the introductory lectures. Only someone who knew what happens when one really does these things could say that something is not explained. If one really does these things, that is, if one no longer merely speaks about them from the outside, then one will see that they are much more deeply grounded than any mathematical science, for they go much more closely to the soul than mathematical processes do. And so such a criticism is an extraordinarily superficial one. And the fact that anthroposophy is always understood only in this external way makes its appearance so extraordinarily difficult. In no other science is one required to give everything when a lecture is given. Only in anthroposophy is one required to give everything in a lecture. I have said from the beginning that I cannot do that.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Wie kann irgend etwas nicht begründet sein, was nur einfache Schilderung ist? Ich habe ja- das mache ich gerade in den einleitenden Vorträgen - nichts anderes getan als geschildert. Nur derjenige, der wüßte, was dann vorgeht, wenn man diese Dinge wirklich vornimmt, könnte sagen, etwas sei nicht begründet. Wenn man diese Dinge wirklich vornimmt, das heißt, wenn man nicht mehr bloß von außen über diese Dinge spricht, dann wird man sehen, daß sie viel tiefer begründet sind als irgendeine mathematische Wissenschaft, denn sie gehen viel näher an das Seelische heran als die mathematischen Prozesse. Und so ist gerade eine solche Kritik eine außerordentlich äußerliche. Und daß die Anthroposophie immer nur in dieser äußerlichen Weise aufgefaßt wird, macht ihr Auftreten ja so außerordentlich schwierig. Bei keiner anderen Wissenschaft verlangt man, daß man dann, wenn ein Vortrag gehalten wird, alles gibt. Nur von der Anthroposophie verlangt man, daß sie in einem Vortag alles gibt.
