You may remember that I said in my lecture that the intuition that I established as the third stage of supersensible knowledge occurs last. But moral intuition also occurs for ordinary consciousness. It is the only one that initially arises for a consciousness that has advanced to our level from the supersensible world. Moral intuition is simply an intuition projected down from a higher level to our level of knowledge. I illustrated this clearly in the lecture. That is why I spoke of this moral intuition first, not afterwards. I have described it as the starting point. One learns to recognize it; and when one has grasped it correctly, then one has a certain subjective precondition for also understanding what comes afterwards. For in experiencing moral intuition, one experiences something that, when compared with what is otherwise real, has a different kind of reality, and that is the reality of ought. If you go into what I have said, then the difference between being and ought is explained simply by the fact that moral intuition projects into our ordinary sphere of consciousness, while the other intuition is not a projection, but must first be attained. It was not at all implied that moral intuition is only a special case for the process of knowledge of general intuition, but it is simply the first case where something occurs to us intuitively in our ordinary consciousness, in today's state of consciousness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Sie erinnern sich vielleicht, daß ich im Vortrage gesagt habe, die Intuition, die ich als die dritte Stufe der übersinnlichen Erkenntnis aufgestellt habe, trete zuletzt auf. Die moralische Intuition tritt aber auch schon für das gewöhnliche Bewußtsein auf. Sie ist das einzige, was zunächst für ein Bewußtsein, das bis zu unserer Stufe vorgedrungen ist, von der übersinnlichen Welt auftritt. Die moralische Intuition ist einfach eine von einer höheren Stufe auf unsere Erkenntnisstufe herunterprojizierte Intuition. Das habe ich im Vortrage klar veranschaulicht. Deshalb habe ich auch von dieser moralischen Intuition zuerst gesprochen, nicht nachher. Ich habe sie als den Ausgangspunkt bezeichnet. Man lernt sie erkennen; und wenn man sie richtig erfaßt hat, dann hat man eine gewisse subjektive Vorbedingung, das andere auch zu verstehen, was dann nachher kommt. Denn indem man die moralische Intuition erlebt, erlebt man etwas, was, wenn man es vergleicht mit dem, was sonst real ist, eben eine andere Art Realität hat, und das ist die Soll-Realität. Geht man ein auf das, was ich gesagt habe, dann erklärt sich schon der Unterschied des Seins und des Sollens einfach dadurch, daß die moralische Intuition in unsere gewöhnliche Bewußtseinssphäre hereinragt, während die andere Intuition nicht ein Herunterprojizieren ist, sondern erst erreicht werden muß. Davon war gar nicht die Rede, daß etwa die moralische Intuition nur ein Spezialfall wäre für den Erkenntnisprozeß der allgemeinen Intuition, sondern sie ist einfach der erste Fall, wo uns im gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein, im heutigen Bewußtseinszustande, etwas intuitiv auftritt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":253,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/75/1922-05-11/p120"}],"english":["GA 75/1922-05-11/p121"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":253,"en_words":247,"ratio":0.98,"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.
