Anthroposophy is still accepted by many people today who are only able to look at it from the outside as a more or less fantastic attempt to penetrate into areas of the world through knowledge that a serious scientist should not concern himself with. And it is true that anthroposophy, by developing special powers of knowledge, wants to penetrate into areas of life that are important to people above all else, and to which science, with its great triumphs, which are fully recognized by anthroposophy, has no access. Above all, it must be said that there are already scientists today who take their work very seriously and who are concerned with all kinds of abnormal human soul-body forces. These scientists point out how human beings can develop effects that show that they are rooted in the world in other ways than mere natural science can determine. But it is precisely such serious scientists who find the path taken by anthroposophy fantastic. They see it as being open to enthusiasm or perhaps even superstition. In any case, they do not see it as a path that can be taken seriously scientifically.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Essence of Anthroposophy","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-01-23","location":null,"word_count":192,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/80a/1922-01-23/p003","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:identity","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Essence of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA080a/English/SOL2024/19220123p01.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.

Anthroposophie wird heute noch von vielen Menschen, die sie nur von außen her anzuschauen in der Lage sind, für einen mehr oder weniger phantastischen Versuch hingenommen, durch Erkenntnis in Weltgebiete eindringen zu wollen, mit denen sich ein ernster Wissenschaftler nichts zu tun machen soll. Und es ist richtig, dass Anthroposophie durch die Entwicklung besonderer Erkenntniskräfte in Lebensgebiete eindringen will, die dem Menschen vor allen Dingen wichtig sind, und zu denen Naturwissenschaft mit ihren großen Triumphen, die gerade von Anthroposophie voll anerkannt werden, keinen Zugang hat. Man muss vor allen Dingen sagen, dass es heute schon durchaus ernst zu nehmende Wissenschaftler gibt, welche sich befassen mit allerlei abnormen menschlichen Seelen-Körper-Kräften, die darauf hinweisen, wie der Mensch Wirkungen entwickeln kann, die zeigen, dass er durchaus noch in anderer Weise in der Welt wurzelt, als durch bloße Naturwissenschaft festgestellt werden kann. Allein gerade solche ernst zu nehmenden Wissenschaftler finden den Weg, den Anthroposophie einschlägt, gerade phantastisch. Sie finden ihn der Schwärmerei oder vielleicht sogar dem Aberglauben ausgesetzt. Jedenfalls finden sie ihn nicht als einen wissenschaftlich ernst zu nehmenden Weg.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":180,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80a/1922-01-23/p003"}],"english":["GA 80a/1922-01-23/p003"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":180,"en_words":192,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10817,"original_word_count":10371,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Essence of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA080a/English/SOL2024/19220123p01.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.
