In our ordinary thinking everything is arranged spatially. Consider that even time is led back to space! For time is expressed by the movements of the clock. The same process in fact is also contained in our physical formulae. In short, we finally must come to the conclusion that ordinary thinking is a combining way of thinking, one that collects scattered elements.

Even as in the human organism we cannot pass over at will from the head to any other form, but must first pass over to the neck, then the shoulders, the thorax, etc., even as in an organism everything has a definite structure which must be considered as a whole, so the thinking which I characterised as morphological thinking must be inwardly mobile.

Ich habe in dem Beginn der neunziger Jahre des vorigen Jahrhunderts meine «Philosophie der Freiheit» geschrieben, um zu zeigen, wie im moralischen, ethischen Leben der Menschheit die Freiheit wirklich begründet ist, wirklich lebt. Diese «Philosophie der Freiheit» hat viele Mißverständnisse hervorgerufen, weil man sich einfach nicht hineinfinden kann in die Art des Denkens, wie sie in dieser «Philosophie der Freiheit» geübt wird. Es ist nämlich in dieser «Philosophie der Freiheit» schon jenes Denken geübt, zu dem man sich eigentlich behufs Erkenntnis höherer Welten systematisch hindurchringen muß. Es ist der Anfang nur gemacht, derjenige Anfang, den jeder schon im gewöhnlichen Leben machen kann. Aber es ist zu gleicher Zeit der Anfang für die Erkenntnis höherer Welten. Das gewöhnliche Denken — Sie brauchen sich nur zu besinnen auf die Art dieses gewöhnlichen Denkens, so werden Sie sehen, wie berechtigt das ist, was ich sage —, das gewöhnliche Denken ist eigentlich ein aus räumlichen Wahrnehmungen bestehendes Denken. Wir richten ja alles im Grunde genommen in unserem gewöhnlichen Denken räumlich ein. Bedenken Sie nur, daß wir das Zeitliche ja auch auf das Räumliche zurückführen. Wir drücken die Zeit durch die Bewegungen der Uhr aus. Wir haben im Grunde genommen auch in unseren physikalischen Formeln denselben Vorgang. Kurz, wir kommen zuletzt darauf, daß das gewöhnliche Denken ein kombinierendes ist, ein solches, das auseinanderliegende Gebilde zusammenfaßt. Dieses Denken brauchen wir für das gesunde gewöhnliche Leben, brauchen wir auch für die gesunde gewöhnliche Wissenschaft.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":266,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/79/1921-11-26/p010"}],"beads":[{"from":[22,23,24,25,26,27],"to":[10],"confidence":"high","pairing_state":"proposed"}],"note":"Paired by the paragraph aligner; each language numbers its own paragraphs.
