This is no accident, but a thoroughly conscious decision. I could not use the word 'analogy' because there was no question of an analogy with mathematics, but mathematical thinking was used to arrive at a characteristic of the inner experience of certainty. And by trying to explain how one can arrive at an inner experience of certainty in mathematics, I wanted to show how one can acquire this same degree of certainty in a completely different field, where one tries to arrive at certainty in the same way. It is therefore not about an analogy with mathematics, but about citing two real experiences of the soul that are to be compared with each other in no other way than by pointing to the attainment of inner certainty. Dear attendees, what the previous speaker said is not a reference to my lecture, because then he could not have used the word analogy. I avoided it because it does not belong.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Das ist kein Zufall, sondern das ist eine durchaus bewußte Sache. Ich konnte auch das Wort Analogie nicht gebrauchen, weil gar nicht die Rede war von einer Analogie mit der Mathematik, sondern es wurde das mathematische Denken verwendet, um zu einer Charakteristik des inneren Gewißheitserlebnisses zu kommen. Und indem ich versuchte klarzulegen, wie man in der Mathematik zu einem inneren Gewißheitserlebnis kommt, wollte ich zeigen, wie man sich auf einem ganz anderen Gebiete, wo man in derselben Weise zur Gewißheit zu kommen versucht, eben diesen Grad der Gewißheit auch erwerben kann. Es handelt sich also nicht um eine Analogie mit der Mathematik, sondern es handelt sich darum, zwei reale Seelenerlebnisarten anzuführen, die in nichts anderem miteinander verglichen werden sollen, als daß hingewiesen wird auf das Erlangen von innerer Gewißheit. Meine sehr verehrten Anwesenden, es ist also dasjenige, was der verehrte Vorredner gesagt hat, nicht eine Anknüpfung an meinen Vortrag, denn er hätte ja dann nicht das Wort Analogie brauchen können. Ich habe es vermieden, weil es nicht hineingehört.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":222,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/75/1922-05-11/p110"}],"english":["GA 75/1922-05-11/p111"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":222,"en_words":210,"ratio":0.95,"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.
