If one practices this, allows it to be lived out in a comprehensive, not a one-sided way, then one will see how one relates to anthroposophy differently than one still often believes today. We can then look at concepts such as those of Herbert Spencer, which only remain within physical life, as I described in my introduction. On the other hand, we can look at concepts such as those of Vladimir Soloviev, which arise out of the fullness of human life. We shall see in the case of Herbert Spencer why he has to stop at physical life, because everything he expresses comes from a way of thinking that is bound up with the forces of dying and of death. And we shall see in the case of Soloviev that although he uses concepts that are common in the West and that to a great extent contain the conceptual form associated with dying and death, But in the case of Solowjow, we shall see how these concepts remain external to him, but how he dreams up what he actually wants to say out of a mystical darkness and a mystical depth, and thus becomes one-sided on the other side as well.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Man kann hinsehen dann auf solche Begriffe, wie sie Herbert Spencer gibt, die nur stehen bleiben innerhalb des physischen Lebens in der Weise, wie ich es einleitend dargestellt habe; man kann andererseits hinsehen zu solchen Begriffen, wie sie Wladimir Solowjow aus dem vollen Menschenleben heraus gibt. Man wird bei Herbert Spencer sehen, warum er stehen bleiben muss beim physischen Leben, weil alles dasjenige, was er ausspricht, aus einem Denken heraus ist, das an die Sterbe-, an die Todeskräfte gebunden ist. Und man wird bei Solowjow sehen, dass er sich zwar der Begriffe bedient, welche im Westen üblich sind und die eben im höchsten Maße die Begriffsform, die an Sterben und Tod gebunden ist, enthält. Aber man wird bei Solowjow sehen, wie ihm diese Begriffe als etwas Äußerliches bleiben, wie er aber dasjenige, was er eigentlich sagen will, aus einem mystischen Dunkel und aus einer mystischen Tiefe heraus träumt und dadurch wiederum nach der anderen Seite einseitig wird.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":215,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80b/1922-02-12/p043"}],"english":["GA 80b/1922-02-12/p044"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":215,"en_words":228,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8163,"original_word_count":7949,"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/SOL2024/19220212p01.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.
