Synopsis
Explore how knowledge can be grounded in life itself.
This engaging introduction argues that to understand reality, we must connect what we know with the deepest needs of human life, not just with abstract systems.
This edition presents Rudolf Eucken’s call for a Metaphysic of Life, showing why the limits of science and the shortcomings of older philosophies leave a gap. It guides readers through the problem of knowledge, the meaning of life, and how a creative, living approach can reshape how we think, judge, and act.- Clear analysis of why knowledge alone cannot satisfy human longing
- Discussion of life as the basis for genuine understanding
- Evaluation of modern ideas about life, including pragmatism and biology
- Grounding for a new approach to knowledge and reality

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between knowledge and life, arguing that true knowledge can only come from a life that is deeply engaged with the world. The author traces the history of philosophy, showing how the quest for knowledge has led to a dangerous separation of the mind from the body, and of thought from action. This separation has resulted in a loss of meaning and purpose in life, and a growing sense of alienation and despair. The author argues that we need to return to a more holistic understanding of knowledge, one that encompasses both thought and action, and that is rooted in the concrete realities of our lives. Only then can we hope to find genuine meaning and fulfillment in life.
