But they can also master it. They can master it in the sense that one can master the transition from one mathematical concept to another mathematical concept in the ordinary process of mathematization. But this mastery must be achieved through inner practice. It is quite natural that one enters into a life that is very far removed from ordinary consciousness when one suddenly notices – something that otherwise only the food in our organism does, that they lead their own life in digestion without our intervention – that the absorbed concepts begin to lead their own inner life. It is not incomprehensible, but very, very understandable, that a philosopher like Eduard von Hartmann, who was indeed brilliant, who also achieved something quite penetrating in some areas, but who had completely outgrown the philosophical thinking of his time, could not do anything special with this experience of Ludwig Haller. And when Eduard von Hartmann writes his critique of Ludwig Haller, one notices that on the one hand he feels quite queasy. What is to become of it, the modern philosopher asks himself, when the concepts to which I devote myself suddenly begin to dance like goblins within me, to embrace each other or the like? That is something terrible, one cannot expose oneself to it! And so, as a true contemporary philosopher, he also offers this criticism in a very significant way by saying that he never noticed anything of this playful, goblin-like activity of concepts that have come to life independently.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Aber er kann es auch beherrschen. Er kann es in dem Sinne beherrschen, wie man den Übergang von einem mathematischen Begriff zu dem anderen mathematischen Begriff im gewöhnlichen Mathematisieren beherrschen kann. Aber dieses Beherrschen, das muß durch innerliche Übung errungen werden. Es ist ganz selbstverständlich, daß man in ein dem gewöhnlichen Bewußtsein ganz fernes Leben hineinkommt, wenn man so plötzlich merkt — was sonst nur die Speisen in unserem Organismus tun, daß sie ohne unser Zutun ihr eigenes Leben in der Verdauung führen —, daß die aufgenommenen Begriffe anfangen, innerlich ein eigenes Leben zu führen. Es ist nicht unbegreiflich, sondern sehr, sehr begreiflich, daß nun ein Philosoph wie Eduard von Hartmann, der ja geistvoll war, der auf manchen Gebieten auch durchaus Eindringliches geleistet hat, der aber durchaus herausgewachsen ist aus dem philosophischen Denken seines Zeitalters, mit diesem Erlebnis Ludwig Hallers nichts Besonderes anfangen konnte. Und indem Eduard von Hartmann seine Kritik über Ludwig Haller schreibt, merkt man, daß ihm auf der einen Seite ganz schwül wird. Was soll denn das werden — so sagt sich der richtig zeitgemäße Philosoph -, wenn da die Begriffe, denen ich mich hingebe, plötzlich anfangen in meinem Inneren wie Kobolde zu tanzen, sich gegenseitig zu umhalsen oder dergleichen? Das ist ja etwas Fürchterliches, dem kann man sich nicht aussetzen! - Und er gibt demgemäß auch, als richtiger zeitgemäßer Philosoph, diese Kritik in einer recht bedeutsamen Weise ab, indem er sagt, er habe niemals etwas bemerkt von diesem neckischen, koboldartigen Treiben der selbständig lebendig gewordenen Begriffe.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":268,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/76/1921-04-04/p013"}],"english":["GA 76/1921-04-04/p013"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":268,"en_words":276,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8785,"original_word_count":8635,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Stimulating Effect of Anthroposophy on the Individual Sciences","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA076/English/SOL2024/19210404p01.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.
