Nature always in the process of becoming; nature
"naturing" (WCT 25). "Nature in the active sense" (Coleridge,
WCT
24). Nature not phenomenal, but nonetheless real, "supersenuous, but not
supernatural" (WCT 25). What we call "laws
of nature" were once experienced as
natura naturans.
Greek thought
was at home in natura naturans and was, in fact, a direct experience
of it (RCA 54-55). In the minds of the Naturphilosophen
[Schelling, etc.],
natura naturans was essentially one with "what
we call intelligence" (RM 182).
Natura naturans
is equivalent to what
Steiner
calls the
etheric (RM 182).
See in particular "Naturata and Naturans"
(WCT 22-25). |
