Instead, I should like today to try and show you how spiritual science can arrive at a cosmology and a knowledge of the spiritual impulses underlying the world's development. The reproach that is usually levelled at anyone who now attempts such a task is that of anthropomorphism, that is of taking features of human mental life and projecting them—in accordance with one's wishes or some other predilections or prejudices—onto the cosmos. A closer examination of the way in which the philosophy of life presented here attains its cosmological results, however, should be enough to demonstrate that there cannot be the slightest question of anthropomorphism. On the contrary, this philosophy seeks its data about the world and its development through a spiritual cognition that is just as objective as the scientific study of nature.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Dagegen möchte ich in meinem heutigen Vortrag zu zeigen versuchen, wie man zu einer solchen geisteswissenschaftlichen Kosmologie, zu einer Erkenntnis der geistigen Impulse, die der Weltentwickelung zugrunde liegen, kommen kann. Es wird einem zumeist heute noch vorgeworfen, wenn man so etwas unternimmt, man treibe Anthropomorphismus, das heißt, man suche dasjenige auf, was sich im Menschen selber abspielt, was im menschlichen Seelenleben vorhanden ist, und man versetze dann das - etwa in Angemessenheit seiner Wünsche oder irgendwelcher anderer Vorempfindungen und Vorurteile - hinaus in das Weltendasein. Gerade ein genaueres Hinschauen auf die Art und Weise, wie die hier dargestellte Welt- und Lebensauffassung zu ihren kosmischen Resultaten kommt, sollte eigentlich erkennen lassen, daß es sich durchaus nicht im entferntesten darum handeln kann, solchen Anthropomorphismus zu treiben, sondern daß es sich darum handelt, wirklich in ebenso objektiver Weise Ergebnisse über Welt und Weltentwickelung durch Geist-Erkenntnis aufzusuchen, wie das auf dem Felde der Naturerkenntnis geschieht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":178,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/83/1922-06-05/p004"}],"english":["GA 83/1922-06-05/p004"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":178,"en_words":158,"ratio":0.89,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.98,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7124,"original_word_count":7286,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"B.
