We stand on the standpoint of the Copernican world view, which is a heliocentric one. The medieval man believed that the Earth was at the center of the planetary system, and indeed of the entire star system, and that the sun and the other stars moved around the Earth. The heliocentric solar system brought about a complete reversal of all relationships, and today we hold fast to this reversal as something that we already absorb in our ordinary school education, in which we are immersed with all our education. We look back at the people of the Middle Ages, we look back at the people of ancient times, who in their Ptolemaic world system saw that which I have just characterized, the geocentric. But by no means did all people in those ancient times accept only the geocentric world system. We need only read Plutarch's account of the world system of an ancient Greek wise man of the pre-Christian era, Aristarchus of Samos. Aristarchus of Samos already places the sun at the center of our planetary system; he has the earth revolve around the sun. And if we take, not in the details, about which recent natural science has brought so much, but in the main features, the heliocentric system of Aristarchus of Samos, then it basically completely agrees with the one that is ours today.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Wir stehen auf dem Standpunkte der kopernikanischen Weltanschauung, die eine heliozentrische ist. Der Mensch des Mittelalters glaubte, die Erde ruhe im Mittelpunkt des Planetensystems, überhaupt des ganzen Sternensystems, die Sonne mit den anderen Sternen bewege sich um die Erde herum. Geradezu eine Umkehrung aller Verhältnisse wurde durch das heliozentrische Sonnensystem bewirkt, und an dieser Umkehrung halten wir heute fest als an etwas, was wir schon aufnehmen in unserer gewöhnlichen Schulbildung, in dem wir drinnenstehen mit unserer ganzen Bildung. Wir sehen zurück auf die Menschen des Mittelalters, wir sehen zurück auf die Menschen des Altertums, welche in ihrem ptolemäischen Weltensystem dasjenige gesehen haben, was ich eben charakterisiert habe, das geozentrische. Aber keineswegs haben alle Menschen in jenen alten Zeiten bloß das geozentrische Weltensystem angenommen. Man braucht ja — schon die äußere Geschichte zeigt uns das, Geisteswissenschaft macht es völlig klar —, man braucht nur bei Plutarch nachzulesen über dasjenige, was er über das Weltensystem eines alten griechischen Weisen der vorchristlichen Zeit, des Aristarch von Samos, sagt. Dieser Aristarch von Samos versetzt schon die Sonne in den Mittelpunkt unseres Planetensystems; er lässt die Erde um die Sonne kreisen. Und wenn wir, allerdings nicht in den Einzelheiten, über die ja die neuere Naturwissenschaft so Großes gebracht hat, aber in den Hauptzügen, das heliozentrische System des Aristarch von Samos nehmen, so stimmt es im Grunde genommen vollständig mit demjenigen überein, das heute das unsrige ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":258,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/80c/1921-02-23/p015"}],"english":["GA 80c/1921-02-23/p016"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":258,"en_words":255,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9108,"original_word_count":8774,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Anthroposophical Spiritual Science and the Big Questions of Contemporary Civilization","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA080c/English/SOL2024/19210223p01.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.
