If we study it in its purity in Goethe, where it appears in a wonderful way with its full justification, we recognize that it was bound to arise, it must be there. Only through pure phenomenality can man fully enlighten himself about what is actually in his environment. But then everything that goes beyond the phenomenon is initially something that man cannot cope with. If one knows nothing of methods of knowledge that ascend into the supersensible worlds, that is, that ascend from phenomena as facts to other, but now supersensible facts, then, by tending towards phenomenalism, one must ultimately say to oneself: Only phenomena exist at all. When I examine them with my thinking, I do not discover anything that lives on behind them, other than the phenomena themselves. For the archetypal phenomena are ultimately also only phenomena. So that I actually get nothing out of them but practical principles for using the phenomena in the service of human beings.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Wenn man ihn in seiner Reinheit bei Goethe studiert, wo er in ganz wunderbarer Weise mit seiner vollen Berechtigung auftritt, so erkennt man, er mußte eben entstehen, er muß da sein.

Aber dann ist alles dasjenige, was über das Phänomen hinausgeht, zunächst etwas, womit der Mensch nicht zurechtkommt. Weiß man nichts von Erkenntnismethoden, die in die übersinnlichen Welten aufsteigen, die also von den Phänomenen als Tatsachen zu anderen, aber jetzt übersinnlichen Tatsachen aufsteigen, so muß man, indem man zum Phänomenalismus tendiert, sich zuletzt sagen: Es sind überhaupt nur Phänomene gegeben. Wenn ich sie mit dem Denken bearbeite, erfahre ich ja nichts, was hinter ihnen weiter lebt, als die Phänomene selber. Denn die Urphänomene sind zuletzt ja auch nur Phänomene.
