Summary "Elämän tarkoitus ja arvo" by Rudolf Eucken is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work delves into questions surrounding the purpose and value of human life, navigating through various philosophical perspectives and historical contexts to engage the reader in a critical examination of contemporary beliefs. The opening of the book sets the stage for a profound exploration of existential questions, addressing the growing uncertainty of modern individuals regarding their own significance and the inherent value of life. Eucken introduces the idea that the modern man grapples with conflicting worldviews, particularly the clash between traditional religious ideals and emerging naturalistic perspectives. The author posits that without a unified understanding of life’s purpose, humans risk falling into existential despair, as they face life’s challenges without a guiding framework. Eucken emphasizes the necessity of engaging deeply with these questions, suggesting that a lack of resolution could lead to a disintegration of personal and collective meaning in existence.
