"Ihmisestä ja elämästä: Kirjoitelmia" by Volter Kilpi is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work delves deep into the inner experiences of human consciousness, exploring themes such as the essence of thought, art, and the connection between the individual and the universe. Kilpi emphasizes the profound impact of genuine human feelings and experiences on both the creation and appreciation of art and philosophy, inviting readers to reflect on their own internal worlds. The opening of this work presents a rich exploration of thought as it pertains to humanity. Kilpi articulates the belief that true understanding arises from introspection and the deep acknowledgment of one's inner sensations. He contrasts the authentic emotional responses elicited by great works of literature and art—like those of Shakespeare and Goethe—with mere intellectual exercises that fail to resonate at a human level. Through vivid imagery and passionate prose, Kilpi sets the stage for a broader discussion on how human beings perceive their existence and the importance of aligning thoughts and expressions with genuine feelings, indicating that only then can true beauty and understanding be achieved.
