Summary "Der Sinn und Wert des Lebens" by Rudolf Eucken is a philosophical exploration written in the early 20th century. The book seeks to address the existential questions surrounding the meaning and value of human life, particularly in the context of modern challenges and uncertainties. Eucken aims to engage readers in a thoughtful examination of how various life orders—including religious, idealistic, and naturalistic frameworks—have influenced humanity's understanding of its purpose amidst turmoil, especially post-World War I. At the start of the work, Eucken introduces the pressing inquiry into the significance of life, stressing that such questioning intensifies during times of uncertainty. He describes how individuals grapple with deep existential dilemmas when the foundational structures of life become destabilized. The opening sections establish a backdrop of historical and philosophical contexts, discussing the interaction between the visible and invisible realms of existence, and noting the crisis of belief that many individuals experience as traditional frameworks fail to provide adequate answers. Eucken sets the stage for a detailed discourse on the various life orders and their psychological impact, aiming to guide readers toward a renewed understanding of life's purpose through critical engagement with these overarching themes.
