But that was not the case at all, because I can give you the most honest assurance: I couldn't care less about what Count Hermann Keyserling thinks of me; I don't care about a personal attack. But there is something else I do care about: I care about looking at the phenomena that occur in our lives in terms of their ethical and moral value. And here I must say the following: I consider it one of the greatest achievements of modern science that – even if not always in practice, at least in the theories expressed – this modern science tends towards the proposition that one should not simply express what one subjectively believes to be true, but that one must absolutely recognize the obligation to first truly fathom the truth of what one expresses.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Das war aber gar nicht der Fall, denn ich kann Ihnen die allerehrlichste Versicherung geben: Was der Graf Hermann Keyserling über mich denkt, ist mir ganz einerlei, darauf kommt es mir gar nicht an; auf eine persönliche Attacke kommt es mir dabei nicht an. Aber es kommt mir auf etwas anderes an: es kommt mir darauf an, anzuschauen die Erscheinungen, die da auftreten in unserem Leben mit Bezug auf ihren sittlichen und mit Bezug auf ihren moralischen Wert. Und da muß ich folgendes sagen: Für eine der größten Errungenschaften moderner Wissenschaftlichkeit halte ich es, daß — wenn auch nicht immer in der Praxis, so doch wenigstens in den ausgesprochenen Theorien — diese moderne Wissenschaftlichkeit zu dem Satze neigt, man dürfe nicht einfach dasjenige aussprechen, was man subjektiv für wahr hält, sondern man müsse durchaus die Verpflichtung anerkennen, die Wahrheit desjenigen, was man ausspricht, erst wirklich zu ergründen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":199,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/77b/1921-08-26/p018"}],"english":["GA 77b/1921-08-26/p018"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":199,"en_words":187,"ratio":0.94,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6068,"original_word_count":6042,"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/SOL2024/19210826a01.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.
