Economic life, which produces goods according to human needs, is subject to a certain necessity. These needs arise. This economic life still gives itself its social impulses in the same way as it used to give them according to old traditions. Man must pay attention to this. He has no freedom here, no arbitrariness. With regard to the legal and state life, and especially with regard to the spiritual life, he can divert attention from that which is really essential to him, and for the reasons I have given, modern humanity has diverted its attention from the structure of the social organism. This has become evident: that this turning away has initially only led to the neglect of progress in intellectual and legal life, but that economic life, as was to be expected from such neglect, could not but develop in a one-sided way. And so today we have a public thinking that basically pays no attention to intellectual and legal life, but continues to work in old forms, in old traditions, and which, through the natural economic necessities to see everything it thinks at congresses and other gatherings, in war and peace resolutions, solely in the light of this economic life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Das Wirtschaftsleben, das Waren erzeugt nach den menschlichen Bedürfnissen, das unterliegt einer gewissen Notwendigkeit. Diese Bedürfnisse entstehen. Dieses Wirtschaftsleben, es gibt sich noch immer im Grunde genommen seine sozialen Impulse so, wie es sie sich ehemals gegeben hat nach alten Traditionen. Darauf muß der Mensch sehen. Da hat er keine Freiheit, da hat er keine Willkür. Mit Bezug auf das rechtlich-staatliche Leben, und insbesondere mit Bezug auf das Geistesleben kann er die Aufmerksamkeit aber ablenken von demjenigen, was wirklich seinem Wesen gemäß ist, und durch die Gründe, die ich angegeben habe, hat die neuere Menschheit ihre Aufmerksamkeit abgewendet von der Gliederung des sozialen Organismus. So ist das zutage getreten, daß dieses Abwenden zunächst nur bewirkt hat die Vernachlässigung des Fortschrittes im Geistes- und Rechtsleben, daß aber das Wirtschaftsleben eben, wie es bei dieser Vernachlässigung nicht anders sein konnte, so fortgehen mußte, wie es eben in einseitiger Weise fortgehen konnte. Und so haben wir heute ein öffentliches Denken, das im Grunde genommen keine Aufmerksamkeit hinwendet auf das geistige und auf das rechtlichstaatliche Leben, sondern das in alten Formen, in alten Traditionen weiterarbeitet, und das sich zwingen läßt durch die naturhaft-wirtschaftlichen Notwendigkeiten, alles, was es denkt, auf Kongressen, auf sonstigen Zusammenkünften, was es denkt bei Kriegs- und Friedensentschließungen, einzig und allein im Lichte dieses Wirtschaftslebens zu sehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":237,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/77b/1921-08-26/p030"}],"english":["GA 77b/1921-08-26/p030"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":237,"en_words":224,"ratio":0.95,"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.
