A tremendous step of emancipation came about from the modern era onward in the development of the consciousness soul striving toward individuation, and as one of its hallmarks, through the emergence of the natural sciences. These emancipate themselves from religion and from the sacred art still close to it. The originally all-unified differentiates itself into the threefoldness of religion, art, and lastly science. The scientific path of cognition took over the lead; art and religion had no place in it any longer. They became cultural accessories. In agriculture this process unfolded very slowly and at the end precipitously. In the course of it, the sources of moral action ran dry within her. The concepts that science carries into agriculture from outside, in the form of technologies, are concepts of feasibility; they are abstract, cold, dead — and the traces they leave behind are a devastated, cleared-out earth surrendered to ugliness. With the fading of the traditions, people will "fertilize the fields with science."
