What we have before our mind's eye as space is, in the first place, quite independent of man and the rest of the world. And because man as an individual being orientates himself in accordance with spatial laws, he pictures space before his eyes, independent of himself. He can certainly say that he is at this or that distance from any selected point; thus he inserts himself into space, as a part of space. And by regarding himself as an earthly being and assigning to himself certain distances from this and that star, he inserts himself into cosmic space. In a word, man regards space as something objective, independent of his own being. It was this that led Kant to call space an *a priori* intuition ( *eine Anschauung a priori*), a mode of intuition given to man prior to experience. He cannot ask how he comes to have space; he must simply accept it as something given; he must fit himself into it when he has attained full earthly consciousness.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Dasjenige, was wir da im Seelenauge haben als Raum, das ist etwas, was uns zunächst ganz unabhängig vom Menschen und von der übrigen Welt vor dem geistigen Auge steht. Daß es zunächst vor den Augen des Menschen unabhängig von diesem Menschen selbst steht, das geht uns daraus hervor, daß der Mensch sich nach den Bestimmungen des Raumes als Wesen, als Individuum selber bestimmt. Er kann durchaus sagen, er sei so und so weit entfernt von irgendeinem Punkt, den er in Aussicht nimmt. Also gliedert er sich selbst in den Raum ein. Er gliedert sich wohl auch in den Weltenraum ein dadurch, daß er sich als Erdenwesen betrachtet und sich nun hineinstellt in bestimmte Sternenabstände und dergleichen. Kurz, den Raum betrachtet der Mensch zunächst als etwas Objektives, als etwas, was mit seinem Eigenwesen nichts zu tun hat. Das hat ja gerade dazu geführt, daß Kant davon gesprochen hat, der Raum sei eine Anschauung a priori, eine Anschauung, die gewissermaßen dem Menschen von vornherein gegeben ist. Er hat keine Möglichkeit, zu fragen, wodurch er diesen Raum habe. Er hat ihn einfach hinzunehmen als etwas Fertiges, in das er sich hineinzufinden hat, wenn er zum Vollbewußtsein seines Erdendaseins gekommen ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":228,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/82/1922-04-08/p006"}],"english":["GA 82/1922-04-08/p009"],"method":"reader","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":228,"en_words":199,"ratio":0.87,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 82/1922-04-08/p006"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.92,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6598,"original_word_count":7163,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"So That Man may Become Fully Human","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA082/English/SOL2025/19220408p01.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.
