He asserts that the pursuit of knowledge, beauty, and goodness are essential to a fulfilling life, and that the ultimate goal of human existence is to achieve a sense of unity with the divine.The book also examines the role of religion and spirituality in human life, and the ways in which they can provide a framework for ethical and moral behavior. Eucken draws on a variety of philosophical and religious traditions, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, to explore these themes.Overall, The Meaning And Value Of Life is a thought-provoking and insightful work that continues to be relevant today.
