It is just that Kant arrived at his formulation of the scholastic problem in a peculiar way: in the age in which Kant, as a young man, was pursuing his philosophical studies, a somewhat diluted Leibnizianism prevailed in the circles in which Kant was pursuing his studies. Leibnizianism, which is something great in its own way, albeit somewhat abstract, and which still has a connection to the spirit of reality, was philosophically sublimated and diluted in Wolffianism, which formed the stage of Kant's youth. During this time, people were already dealing with the demands of mathematizing science, with the demands of science, which is precisely composed of the results of external observation of the world. But out of the old habit that man has something to say when something is being determined about the world, one had established the broad doctrine of reason alongside this empirical science, alongside this science of experience. It was decreed that uncertain judgments can be gained through experience, through empiricism, about everything that is transitory; but these judgments are directed only at the transitory and are uncertain. One cannot know whether what one recognizes through observation and intellectual knowledge about any fact of the transitory world must necessarily be so for all time. We cannot even know that the sun must rise every morning, because we have only the one piece of empirical evidence that it has risen every morning so far. From this we can conclude that it will also rise in the future; but it is just an empirical conclusion. Beyond this empirical science, Wolffianism, and Kant in his youth, were looking for a rational science, in complete harmony with Wolffianism. It is characteristic that one of Wolff's books is called: “Rational Thoughts about God, the World, and the Soul of Man, and about All Things in General.”","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Nur kam Kant auf eine eigentümliche Weise gerade zu seiner Formulierung des Scholastikerproblems: In dem Zeitalter, in dem Kant als Jüngling seine philosophischen Studien gemacht hat, war der etwas verdünnte Leibnizianismus innerhalb der Kreise herrschend, in denen eben Kant seine Studien machte. Der Leibnizianismus, der in seiner Art etwas Großes ist, wenn auch etwas außerordentlich Abstraktes, der noch durchaus einen Zusammenhang mit Wirklichkeitsgeist hat, war im Wolffianismus, der für Kant das Jugendstadium bildete, philosophisch sublimiert, verdünnt. Man hatte in dieser Zeit schon durchaus zu tun mit den Ansprüchen der mathematisierenden Wissenschaft, mit den Ansprüchen der Wissenschaft, die sich eben zusammensetzt aus den Ergebnissen der Außenbeobachtung der Welt. Aber aus der alten Gewohnheit heraus, daß der Mensch doch etwas mitzusprechen habe, wenn über die Welt etwas ausgemacht wird, hatte man neben dieser empirischen Wissenschaft, neben dieser Erfahrungswissenschaft, die breite Vernunftlehre statuiert. Man hatte statuiert: über alles Vergängliche können durch Erfahrung, durch Empirie, ungewisse Urteile gewonnen werden; aber diese Urteile sind eben durchaus nur auf das Vergängliche gerichtet und sind ungewiß. Man kann nicht wissen, ob sich das, was man über irgendeine Tatsache der vergänglichen Welt durch Beobachtung und Verstandeserkenntnis erkennt, auch wirklich, wie notwendig für alle Zeiten, so verhalten muß. Man kann nicht einmal wissen, daß die Sonne jeden Morgen aufgehen muß, denn man hat nur den einen Erfahrungsbeweis, daß sie bis jetzt an jedem Morgen aufgegangen ist. Daraus kann man schließen, daß sie auch zukünftig aufgehen wird; aber es ist eben nur ein Erfahrungsschluß. Über diese Erfahrungswissenschaft hinaus suchte nun der Wolffianismus, suchte auch Kant in seiner Jugend, ganz im Einklang mit dem Wolffianismus, eine Vernunftwissenschaft. Es ist charakteristisch, daß ein Buch von Wolff so heißt: «Vernünftige Gedanken von Gott, der Welt und der Seele des Menschen, auch allen Dingen überhaupt.»","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":316,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/76/1921-04-04/p019"}],"english":["GA 76/1921-04-04/p019"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":316,"en_words":327,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","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.
