For then we are compelled first to develop pure thinking in the soul, that is, to have thinking in its pure form, so to speak, and then to shape our perception ourselves. The facts themselves compel us to separate perception, cognition, and thinking from one another in order to combine them in action, in moral deeds. How, precisely in the pursuit of ethical, social life, the true essence of intellectual activity dawns on us—what I have developed in my Philosophy of Freedom—is what I want to talk about tomorrow.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Second Lecture","site_heading":"Thinking as Creative Participation in Reality","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.
