About this Item

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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

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

Ideal for readers of philosophy and readers curious about how science, life, and truth intersect in everyday thinking.

About the Author

Eucken won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1908.
