It is capable of penetrating into what is also outwardly dead nature, and in this respect, more recent knowledge has celebrated its great, justified triumphs. It has spread more and more over the field of dead, inorganic, inanimate nature; it wants to see through this dead, this inanimate nature in such a way that one day — this is its ideal — it will be able to see the emergence of the living within the dead, like a combination of the forces that work within the dead. Today, in a certain respect, it is believed that we are on the way to such an understanding of the organic from the inorganic. But even if such an ideal of scientific knowledge, which is entirely justified in its field, could be fulfilled, we will only recognize that which is dead in the living. Allow me to express this in the following way, ladies and gentlemen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Sie hat ausgebreitet sich über das Gebiet der toten, der unorganischen, der unlebendigen Natur immer mehr und mehr; sie will durchschauen diese tote, diese unlebendige Natur in der Weise, dass sie dann auch einmal — das schwebt ihr als Ideal vor - das Hervorgehen des Lebendigen innerhalb des Toten wie eine Kombination der Kräfte, die im Toten wirken, schauen könne.
