Az élet értelme és értéke

by Rudolf Eucken

Translated by Aladár Schöpflin

"Az élet értelme és értéke" by Rudolf Eucken is a philosophical work written in the early 20th century. The book explores the profound questions of life's meaning and value, particularly in an era marked by confusion and a disconnect between individuals and their surroundings. Eucken presents a critical examination of contemporary thought, contrasting older, religiously influenced worldviews with newer, more secular perspectives. The opening of the text grapples with a feeling of existential anxiety prevalent in society, where traditional frameworks for understanding life fail to resonate with modern experiences. Eucken discusses the struggle to bridge the gap between the inner self and the external world, suggesting that true understanding and fulfillment arise from a deep engagement with both. He emphasizes the need for a new synthesis in thought, one that transcends the opposing ideologies of the past, in order to restore meaning and connection to human existence amidst the uncertainties of contemporary life.
