It was the time when people developed their imaginative life one-sidedly. It was the first half of the 15th century, the 16th, 17th century, and partly still the 18th century. Beneath the imaginative life that had become conscious, there still glimmered what was left of the inheritance of the old instincts. And I would like to say that something instinctive was still at work in the moral and social spheres, while man passed over this world and looked at that which was now already emerging from his fully conscious life of ideas. But since then, since the 18th century, these instincts have completely died out, and what remains are only abstract traditions. We do not live today with an elementally generated morality and justice of the social world; we live because the instincts that used to establish social orders are no longer active. And as much as the Marxists believe that they live in Marxism, they live in the most ancient traditions, which can be seen from the fact that they always want to explain the conditions of social life from the prehistory of wild and barbaric peoples.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Es kam die Zeit, in der die Menschen einseitig das Vorstellungsleben ausbildeten. Es kam die erste Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts, das 16., 17. Jahrhundert, zum Teil auch noch das 18. Jahrhundert. Unter dem ins Bewußtsein übergegangenen Vorstellungsleben glimmte noch fort dasjenige, was als Erbschaft von den alten Instinkten übrig geblieben war. Und ich möchte sagen, ein Instinktartiges wirkte im Sittlichen, im Sozialen herauf noch, während der Mensch über diese Welt hinwegzog und anschaute dasjenige, was nun schon aus seinem vollbewußten Vorstellungsleben herauskam. Aber seither, seit dem 18, Jahrhundert sind diese Instinkte vollständig verglommen, und dasjenige, was geblieben ist, sind nur die abstrakten Traditionen. Wir leben ja heute nicht mit einer elementar erzeugten Sittlichkeit und Gerechtigkeit der sozialen Welt, wir leben, weil die Instinkte nicht mehr tätig sind, die früher soziale Ordnungen aufgerichtet haben, wir leben auf diesem Gebiete eigentlich in Traditionen. Und so sehr die Marxisten auch glauben, sie lebten in den Marxismen — sie leben in urältesten Traditionen, was man schon daraus sehen kann, daß sie immer die Bedingungen des sozialen Lebens herauserklären wollen aus der Urgeschichte der wilden und barbarischen Völker.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":189,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/77b/1921-08-26/p026"}],"english":["GA 77b/1921-08-26/p026"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":189,"en_words":194,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","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.
