(Abel John) 1878 1949 Jones, Abel John Rudolph Eucken : a philosophy of life E-text prepared by David Garcia, Karina Aleksandrova, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Philosophy of Life" by Abel J. Jones is a philosophical exposition written in the early 20th century. The book serves as an introduction to the ideas of Rudolf Eucken, a prominent philosopher of his time, and aims to present his perspective on life and existence. It delves into the pressing questions surrounding human life, emphasizing the quest for meaning and the vital role of spirituality and ethics in personal development and societal progress. At the start of the work, the author outlines Eucken's intentions, presenting the philosopher's exploration of life's fundamental problems and the inadequacies of previous philosophical approaches. The opening section discusses the limitations of traditional philosophical discourse, addressing how Eucken's unique perspective seeks to reconcile the spiritual and material aspects of existence. Eucken's philosophy, described as action-oriented and relational, emphasizes the significance of understanding humanity’s higher aspirations and the eternal truths underpinning moral values. This summary establishes a foundation for exploring Eucken's critiques of various philosophical schools, including naturalism and socialism, which he views as insufficient for addressing the deeper questions of life.
