And this inner mental discipline, this inner mental conscientiousness, which one can acquire in this way, we need in all of modern civilization and cultural life. The only question that arises is whether science can take what is being cultivated within humanity in terms of conscientiousness and inner discipline, and take it to its ultimate conclusion. No matter whether the results of scientific research are justified or not, and whether they need to be modified in the future or not – the relative lack of justification has indeed been put into perspective by some speakers at these events – the important thing is that even at the most radical extreme, to which science has turned more in the direction of theory than of practice or experiment, this conscientiousness and this inner discipline still underlie it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Und diese innere seelische Disziplin, diese innere seelische Gewissenhaftigkeit, die man sich auf diese Art aneignen kann, die brauchen wir im ganzen modernen Zivilisations- und Kulturleben, Es entsteht nur die Frage: Kann die Naturwissenschaft das, was da innerhalb der Menschheit anerzogen wird an Gewissenhaftigkeit und innerer Disziplin, kann die Naturwissenschaft das selbst bis zur letzten Konsequenz bringen?
