She constructs views about instinct and will that are actually only continued views about external natural existence. But anthroposophical spiritual insight shows us that instinct and will are rooted in their deeper essence in the spiritual and not in the natural, which we can only reach with natural science. Instinct and will are rooted in the spirit; they only integrate themselves in the human being. They reveal themselves in the human being in a natural shell. It is only this natural shell that science approaches; it does not approach the actual essence of instinct and will at all. But by taking the path from external natural science to a spiritual science, anthroposophy is able to see through not only the shell, the cover of instinct and will, but the true essence of instinct and will. And in so doing, it not only brings up into abstract thinking that which works as instinct and will, but the essence of instinct and will comes alive in the life of imagination. Anthroposophy begins as the most modern science as knowledge; in the further pursuit of its path, it leads to life, it leads the human being to submerge into those depths where instinct and will are rooted spiritually in the spirit. She may say, because she is a living being, with Fichte: What view one forms depends on what kind of person one is – because she is able, through her liveliness, to be allowed to work in the sense of this saying and yet be able to bear fruit for the moral, for the social life.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Sie konstruiert Anschauungen über Instinkt und Wille, die eigentlich nur fortgeführte Anschauungen über das äußere Naturdasein sind. Aber anthroposophisches Geistesanschauen zeigt uns, daß Instinkt und Wille in ihrer tieferen Wesenheit im Geistigen und nicht im Naturhaften, das wir mit der Naturwissenschaft einzig und allein erreichen können, wurzelt. Instinkt und Wille wurzeln im Geiste; sie gliedern sich nur ein im Menschen. Sie enthüllen sich im Menschen in einer naturhaften Schale. Einzig und allein an diese naturhafte Schale dringt die Naturwissenschaft heran, an das eigentliche Wesen von Instinkt und Wille dringt sie gar nicht heran. Aber indem Anthroposophie den Weg nimmt von der äußeren Naturwissenschaft zu einer Geisteswissenschaft, wird es ihr möglich, nicht bloß zu durchschauen die Schale, die Hülle von Instinkt und Wille, sondern die wahre Wesenheit von Instinkt und Wille. Und damit bringt sie nicht nur herauf in ein abstraktes Denken dasjenige, was als Instinkt und Wille wirkt, dadurch tritt lebendig in das Vorstellungsleben ein das Wesen von Instinkt und Wille. Anthroposophie beginnt wie die modernste Wissenschaftlichkeit als Wissen; in der weiteren Fortführung ihres Weges führt sie zum Leben, führt sie den Menschen dazu, daß er untertaucht in diejenigen Tiefen, wo geistig im Geiste wurzeln Instinkt und Wille. Sie darf, weil sie etwas Lebendiges ist, mit Fichte sagen: Welche Anschauung man sich bildet, das hängt davon ab, was man für ein Mensch ist —, denn sie bringt es dahin, durch ihre Lebendigkeit im Sinne dieses Ausspruches wirken zu dürfen und dennoch fruchtbar werden zu können für das moralische, für das soziale Leben.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":301,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/77b/1921-08-26/p032"}],"english":["GA 77b/1921-08-26/p032"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":301,"en_words":312,"ratio":1.04,"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.
