126. Occult History: Lecture II 28 Dec 1910, Stuttgart
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond, Charles Davy

Rudolf Steiner
But, strangely enough, occult research finds just the opposite; and for the occultist himself it is surprising to find that in Kant, for example, there lived a young soul. Yes, the facts show that it is so ... it cannot be gainsaid.
131. From Jesus to Christ: Sources of Knowledge of Christ, Lord of Karma 07 Oct 1911, Karlsruhe
Translated by Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
Faith is something which goes forth from the human soul, and alongside of it is the knowledge which ought to be common to all. It is interesting to see how Kant, whom many consider a great philosopher, did not get beyond this concept of Faith. His idea is that what a man should attain concerning such matters as God, immortality and so forth, ought to shine in from quite other regions, but only through a moral faith, not through knowledge.
105. Universe, Earth and Man: Lecture XI 16 Aug 1908, Stuttgart
Translated by Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
The extremity of this divergence is found in the philosophy of Kant, where science and belief are completely sundered. In it, on the one hand, the categorical imperative is put forward with its practical postulates of reason; on the other hand, purely theoretical reason which has lost all connection with spiritual truths and declares that from the standpoint of science these cannot be found.
171. Goethe and the Crisis of the Nineteenth Century: Sixteenth lecture 30 Oct 1916, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
I have often spoken to you about Herman Grimm, who is, so to speak, half Swiss, since his mother came from Switzerland; I have also recently pointed out how Herman Grimm from school as the Kant-Laplace hypothesis, in such a way that he says, scholars of the future will have a lot of trouble understanding how this fantasy could have been accepted by a certain age.
172. The Karma of Vocation: Lecture IX 26 Nov 1916, Dornach
Translated by Olin D. Wannamaker, Gilbert Church, Peter Mollenhauer

Rudolf Steiner
Grimm made this statement in the 23rd “Goethe“ lecture with reference to the Laplace-Kant fantasy of the origin and past destruction of the earth. 116.
270. Esoteric Instructions: Third Lesson 29 Feb 1924, Dornach
Translated by John Riedel

Rudolf Steiner
Eigensein (a derivative of Dasein, existence-awareness) is willing that exists in and of its own self, naturally inherent autonomous existence. This follows the usage of Kant in section 3 of his 1785 Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, “Clarity is gained, from most basic to most esoteric usage, by this principle: autonomous existence of willing is the nature of willing, a quality it is equipped with in and of itself, independent of the nature of the objects of willing.”
339. The Art of Lecturing: Lecture III 13 Oct 1921, Dornach
Translated by Fred Paddock, Maria St. Goar, Peter Stebbing, Beverly Smith

Rudolf Steiner
After the pattern of this book, The Lessing Legend, by the party-scholar Mehring, one of the students of my Worker's Education School—for many years, I did indeed teach in such an institution, even giving instruction in lecturing—proved in a trial-speech that the Kantian philosophy originated simply from the economic conditions out of which Kant had developed. One always encountered matter similar to this (in these circles) and probably could find them still today, although by now they have more or less become empty phrases.
83. The Tension Between East and West: Natural Science 01 Jun 1922, Vienna
Translated by B. A. Rowley

Rudolf Steiner
We permeate them with something we develop solely in our innermost human entity—with mathematical knowledge. And Kant's saying is often quoted and even more often practised by scientific thinkers: In all true knowledge there is only so much science as there is mathematics.
116. The Christ Impulse and the Development of the Ego-Consciousness: The Further Development of Conscience 08 May 1910, Berlin
Translated by Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
Paul, as it were? Such a theory could not alarm as Kant does: ‘The thing-in-itself is incomprehensible.’ Such a theory of knowledge could only say: ‘It lies with thee, 0 man; through what thou now art, thou art bringing about an untrue reality.
140. Life Between Death and Rebirth: Life Between Death and Rebirth I 26 Nov 1912, Munich
Translated by René M. Querido

Rudolf Steiner
In fact, he is adapted to the cosmos, members himself into the cosmos, and thus a balance is established in the soul between the individual and the cosmic life. Kant once said very beautifully that there were two things that especially uplifted him—the starry heavens above him and the moral law within him.
