In the first volume of his unfinished work on psychology, he asks: What can any psychology ever achieve by establishing—whether experimentally or non-experimentally, I might add—how concepts combine and separate, how attention operates, how memory develops in life etc.?—if, precisely because of the scientific character of this psychology, with its emulation of natural science, we must renounce all claim to understand the fate of the human soul once the body crumbles into its elements? This was said not by some eccentric or other, but by that rigorous thinker Franz Brentano, who made psychology his central concern in life and who sought to apply to his work the strict scientific method of modern times. Yet he it was who presented the riddle of the soul to his contemporaries in the way I have just outlined, as something scientifically unavoidable.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"2.

Es ist ein moderner Seelenforscher, der in dem ersten Bande seines unvollendet gebliebenen Werkes über Psychologie es ausgesprochen hat: Was könnte uns alle Seelenkunde bringen, wenn sie uns aufklärte — sei es nun, das füge ich ein, auf experimentellem oder nichtexperimentellem Wege - über die Art und Weise, wie sich die Vorstellungen verbinden oder lösen, wie die Aufmerksamkeit wirkt, wie das Gedächtnis etwa zustande kommt im Leben zwischen Geburt und Tod und so weiter, wenn wir gerade wegen der Wissenschaftlichkeit dieser Seelenkunde, die der Naturwissenschaft nacheifern will, verzichten müßten, zu erkennen, welches das Schicksal der menschlichen Seele ist, wenn der menschliche Leib in seine Elemente zerfällt? Das, meine sehr verehrten Anwesenden, hat nicht irgendein Phantast ausgesprochen, sondern der strenge Denker Franz Brentano, der die Seelenkunde im wesentlichen zur Aufgabe seines Lebens gemacht hat und der in der Seelenkunde so arbeiten wollte, wie es der strengen naturwissenschaftlichen Methode der neueren Zeit gemäß ist. Dennoch hat gerade er das Seelenrätsel in der Weise, wie ich es eben angedeutet habe, als ein wissenschaftlich Notwendiges vor seine Mitwelt hingestellt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":216,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/83/1922-06-02/p016"}],"english":["GA 83/1922-06-02/p016"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":216,"en_words":175,"ratio":0.81,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.94,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6877,"original_word_count":7314,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"B.
