The foundations I have laid to-day will then appear, perhaps, in a more understandable form. But I may have been able to show that Anthroposophy knows from its scientific attitude—from an attitude as scientific as that of science—what its aims are in face of the contemporary world, of human evolution as a whole, and of the separate sciences. It will get to work because it knows how it has to work. Perhaps its path will be very long. If, on the other hand, one sees, in the subconscious depths of human souls, the deep longings for the heights that Anthroposophy would climb, one may surmise that it is necessary for the welfare of humanity that the path Anthroposophy has to take should not be too slow. But whether the pace be slow or fast may be less important for Anthroposophy than for human progress. In many domains we speak of being caught up in the “rapid tempo” of our time. May all that mankind is intended to attain by cognition of the super-sensible be attained as rapidly as the welfare of mankind requires.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Sie weiß es in einem absoluten Sinne, indem sie die Eigentümlichkeit der heutigen Wissenschaften kennt, indem sie jeden Dilettantismus und jedes Laientum ablehnt und von dem aus, was wahre Wissenschaft ist, weiterbaut. Sie kennt andererseits die historischen Notwendigkeiten. Sie weiß, wie der Weg der Menschheit von dem gegenwärtig Errungenen aus weitergehen muß, wenn wir nicht stillestehen wollen, wie auch alle unsere Vorfahren, da, wo sie Anteil hatten an der Zivilisationsentwickelung, vorwärts wollten. Wir müssen auch vorwärtsrücken. Aber wir müssen wissen, welche Schritte zu vollführen sind von dem gegenwärtigen Standpunkte des Wissenschaftsgeistes aus. Wie das sich im Einzelnen ausnimmt, werde ich zu schildern haben in den nächsten Tagen. Dann wird sich vielleicht leichter faßlich ausnehmen, was ich als Grundlegung heute geben mußte. Vielleicht hat sich aber doch zeigen können, das Anthroposophie schon aus wissenschaftlicher, wissenschaftsgleicher Gesinnung heraus weiß, was sie eigentlich will gegenüber der Gegenwart und der ganzen Menschheitsentwickelung und auch gegenüber den einzelnen Wissenschaften. Sie wird arbeiten, weil sie weiß, wie sie zu arbeiten hat. Vielleicht wird ihr Weg ein langwieriger sein. Wenn man aber auf der anderen Seite sieht, wie tief die Sehnsuchten in den unterbewußten Tiefen der Menschenseelen eigentlich nach jenen Höhen sind, die Anthroposophie erklimmen möchte, dann scheint es, als ob es zum Heile der Menschheit notwendig wäre, daß der Weg, den Anthroposophie zu gehen hat, nicht ein allzu langsamer sei. Aber es wird vielleicht weniger für Anthroposophie bedeutungsvoll sein als für den menschlichen Fortschritt, ob der Gang langsam oder schnell vor sich gehen wird. Wir reden davon, daß auf vielen Gebieten wir heute in einer schnell-lebigen Zeit darinnen sind.
