Synopsis

Originally published in 1887. 'Has human life any meaning and value? In asking this question we are under no illusion. We know that we cannot pose to-day as the possessors of a truth which we have but to un-fold. The question confronts us as a problem that is still unsolved, whilst we may not renounce the attempt to solve it.' Contents include: The problem as it stands today - Retrospect and Prospect - Attempt at Reconstruction - Recapitulation - Application to Modern Life. Author: Rudolf Eucken Language: English Keywords: Religion / Philosophy Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Obscure Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In treating the question of lifes meaning and value, oui aim is to press home on the individual consciousness the spiritual problems of the present day, and enlist the individuals co-operation in regard to them. This conception of our task has imposed certain limitations on our philosophical programme; but that within these limits there is still room for enlightenment should become apparent as the work proceeds. To some the first and more critical portion of the discussion may seem too long drawn-out. But the.main thesis the vindication of which brings with it as a possibi Utythe re-establishing of life and the rebirth of culture could not be convincingly developed unt Oshown to be the only road to the goal. And to this end the critical treatment was indispensable. It is not an accessory, but an essential. RUDOLF EUCKEN. Jena, December,
