You cannot do this any differently than by researching what this spirit is. You cannot find it in the external world. You have to apply it to the knowledge of the external world, you have to get the spirit out of yourself. If we want to express ourselves at all about what science is, we speak of the spirit all the time. But we also have to be able to come to it through some particular way of knowing: What is this spirit actually? And by now trying to make the journey, I would like to say through the sea of modern science, one finally discovers that one does not arrive at something known, but that one arrives precisely at that which is previously in consciousness when one utters the word “spirit” or by saying, “The spirit searches,” one does not arrive at something known, but one arrives at that unknown and actually experiences something similar to what Columbus experienced when he discovered America between Europe and India.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Das kann man nicht anders, als wenn man nun darüber nachforscht, was denn dieser Geist ist. In der Außenwelt kann man ihn nicht finden. Man muss ihn ja gerade zur Erkenntnis der Außenwelt anwenden, man muss ihn aus sich selber herausholen, den Geist. Wir sprechen, wenn wir uns überhaupt über dasjenige, was Wissenschaft ist, ausdrücken wollen, immerfort vom Geiste. Aber wir müssen auch darauf kommen können durch irgendeine besondere Erkenntnisweise: Was ist denn dieser Geist eigentlich? Und indem man nun versucht, die Fahrt, möchte ich sagen durch das Meer der modernen Wissenschaftlichkeit zu machen, entdeckt man zuletzt, dass man nicht nach irgendetwas Bekanntem hinkommt, sondern dass man gerade [durch] dasjenige, was vorher zwar im Bewusstsein liegt, wenn man das Wort «Geist» ausspricht, oder indem man sagt: «Der Geist forscht», [nicht] nach etwas Bekanntem hinkommt, sondern man nach jenem Unbekannten hinkommt und tatsächlich etwas Ähnliches erlebt, wie Kolumbus es erlebt hat, indem er zwischen Europa und Indien Amerika entdeckt hat.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":192,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80b/1921-01-28/p007"}],"english":["GA 80b/1921-01-28/p007"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":192,"en_words":199,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":17469,"original_word_count":17257,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Inner Nature and Essence of the Human Soul","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA080b/English/SOL2024/19210128p01.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.
