Do we not go through catastrophes and peripeteia through our external lives? Can we therefore hope that we can grasp this human being, who is internally changeable and so close to us in his changeability, through a science that, on the one hand, provides us with an image of the human being that must actually leave us indifferent, yes, that must see its perfection in a certain relationship precisely in the fact that it leaves us indifferent? Anyone who sees this fact in the right light will initially be emotionally drawn to the essence of anthroposophical knowledge of man. This essence of anthroposophical knowledge of man — I have tried to describe it in part according to its method in my writing “How to Know Higher Worlds?” I have tried to describe it by name in my book “Theosophy” and then in the ” Secret Science. I have tried to show how the striving for knowledge must ascend if it is to arrive at genuine anthroposophical knowledge of man, through three degrees of knowledge, through Imagination, through Inspiration, through Intuition understood in the deeper sense. And I believe I have made it clear in my description of what a person can experience in imaginative, inspired, intuitive life, that going through such a path of knowledge means that a series of inner experiences of destiny take place at the same time. , so that not only the content of knowledge approaches the human being in abstraction, but the image of the human being approaches direct human experience, that which sits within us as the experienced essence of our human dignity.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"3.

Gehen wir denn nicht durch Katastrophen und Peripetien durch das äußere Leben? Können wir daher hoffen, daß wir dieses innerlich wandelbare und in seiner Wandelbarkeit uns so nahestehende menschliche Wesen erfassen könnten durch eine Wissenschaft, welche einerseits uns ein Bild des Menschen liefert, das uns eigentlich gleichgültig lassen muß, ja, das gerade in einer gewissen Bezicehung seine Vollkommenheit darin erblicken muß, daß es uns gleichgültig läßt? Wer diese Tatsache im rechten Lichte sieht, der wird zunächst gefühlsmäßig herangerückt an das Wesen anthroposophischer Menschenerkenntnis. Dieses Wesen anthroposophischer Menschenerkenntnis — ich habe versucht, es zum Teil zu schildern nach seiner Methode in meiner Schrift «Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten?», ich habe es zu schildern versucht namentlich in meinem Buche «Theosophie» und dann in der «Geheimwissenschaft», Ich habe zu zeigen versucht, wie aufzusteigen hat ein Erkenntnisstreben, das zu wirklicher anthroposophischer Menschenerkenntnis kommen will durch drei Erkenntnisstufen, durch die Imagination, durch die Inspiration, durch die im tieferen Sinne verstandene Intuition. Und ich glaube, ich habe bemerklich gemacht bei der Schilderung desjenigen, was der Mensch erleben kann in imaginativem, inspiriertem, intuitierendem Leben, daß das Durchmachen eines solchen Erkenntnisweges durchaus eine Reihe innerer Schicksalserlebnisse für den Menschen zugleich bedeutet, also nicht nur in einer Abstraktion dasjenige, was Erkenntnisinhalt wird, an den Menschen heranrückt, sondern heranrückt das Bild vom Menschen an das unmittelbare menschliche Erleben, an dasjenige, was in uns sitzt, als das erlebte Wesen unserer Menschenwürde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":263,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/77b/1921-08-24/p006"}],"english":["GA 77b/1921-08-24/p006"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":263,"en_words":294,"ratio":1.12,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6644,"original_word_count":6275,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Art and Anthroposophy The Goetheanum Impulse: Summer Art Course 1921","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA077b/English/SOL2024/19210824p01.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.
