The book explores the inadequacies of contemporary philosophies of life and seeks to establish a new, over-arching philosophical framework that captures the complexities and aspirations of human existence. Eucken critiques various life philosophies, such as religious systems, idealism, naturalism, socialism, and individualism, while advocating for a spirituality that transcends mere existence and aligns with deeper truths and ideals. The opening of the work sets the stage for Eucken's exploration by emphasizing the disarray in modern life, characterized by a conflict between material prosperity and spiritual uncertainty. He posits that existing philosophies fail to address the holistic needs of humanity and calls for a thoughtful investigation into the foundations of life and its ideals. Eucken begins by analyzing the prevailing philosophies, swiftly identifying their limitations, and contending that a new comprehensive philosophy is needed to align human endeavors with a unified purpose. His aim is not merely to critique but to inspire a pursuit of a more profound and interconnected understanding of life that recognizes the importance of spirit and being in the quest for fulfillment.
