What emanates from this spirit, however, flows through a certain social necessity into the minds of the broadest classes of people. And it is out of this attitude that even those who know nothing about science, who have not arrived at science, judge the social affairs of this world. What does that mean in this case? The social affairs are viewed in such a way that everything that must appear in a healthy way as a social and moral evaluation of some fact for humanity is also, as in the shaping of science, eliminated. Anthroposophically oriented spiritual science wants to take this fact into account in particular. It wants to become a power that is able to unleash such moral impulses in the individual human being that these moral impulses can prevail in a socially beneficial way. But then the anthroposophical school of thought must lead, I would say, in the way people who develop it look at world phenomena, to bring the moral and the social into it so that one sees it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Aus dieser Gesinnung heraus wird dann auch von denjenigen, die gar nichts von Wissenschaft verstehen, die gar nicht an der Wissenschaft angekommen sind, über die sozialen Dinge dieser Welt geurteilt. Was heißt das in diesem Falle? Die sozialen Dinge werden so angesehen, daß man eigentlich dabei auch, wie bei der Wissenschaftsgestaltung, ausschaltet alles dasjenige, was in gesunder Weise als eine soziale und sittliche Wertung irgendeines Faktums für die Menschheit erscheinen muß. Mit dieser Tatsache will anthroposophisch orientierte Geisteswissenschaft ganz besonders rechnen. Sie will als Wissen, als das sie ganz im Sinne des modernen Wissenschaftsgeistes von der einen Seite auftritt, zugleich eine Macht werden, die imstande ist, in dem einzelnen menschlichen Individuum überall solche moralischen Impulse zu entfesseln, daß diese moralischen Impulse im sozial-heilsamen Sinne walten können.
