The Meaning And Value Of Life (1913)

The Meaning and Value of Life is a philosophical book written by Rudolf Eucken and originally published in 1913. The book explores the fundamental questions about the purpose and significance of human existence, and seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the meaning of life. Eucken argues that the meaning of life cannot be found in external circumstances, such as wealth or power, but rather must be discovered within oneself. He emphasizes the importance of spiritual development and self-realization, and suggests that the ultimate goal of human life is to attain a state of harmony and unity with the universe.Throughout the book, Eucken draws upon a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, in order to develop his ideas. He also examines the role of science and technology in modern society, and discusses the impact of these developments on our understanding of the meaning of life.Overall, The Meaning and Value of Life is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental questions that humans have grappled with throughout history. It offers a compelling argument for the importance of spiritual growth and self-discovery, and provides a valuable perspective on the purpose and significance of human existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
