• Title: Foundation Course: Lecture 1: The Relationship of Anthroposophy to Religious Life

  • Today we basically all have an education inculcated in us, derived from modern science, this science which actually only started in the middle of the 15th Century but which has entered into all forms of modern people’s thinking. One basically can’t be different because one has been educated this way from the lowest primary classes, by forming thoughts according to modern science. This has resulted in theology of the 19th Century wanting to orientate itself according to the research of modern science. I’d like to say they feel themselves responsible for the judge’s chair of modern science and as a result have become what they are today. One can only find a basis of true religiosity today by, at the same time, considering the entire authorisation and also the complete meaning of the scientific element of life.

  • Rudolf Steiner: With regards to the first question: You would already have seen, my dear friends, that out of what I said this morning, that in the illustration, the soul contents related to the supersensible and also what leads to the power of formative speech, must be searched for. Regarding the power of speech formation: we actually have no direct understanding of sound anymore today; we basically have no more understanding for words, so our words remain signs. Naturally our starting point needs to be out of the spiritual milieu of our time. Man must be responsible for these intimate things out of what currently is available. Precisely such a question brings us naturally into the area of the purely technical. First of all one has to make the understanding for the sound active again, within oneself. One doesn’t easily manage the free use of speech when one isn’t able to allow the sound as such, to stir within oneself. I would like to continue in such a way that I first draw your attention to certain examples.
