He has given us in himself a profound believer in the inward and higher
nature of man, and in the existence of the spiritual life. As one critic
says: "The earnestness, depth and grandeur, humility and conscious
choice of high ideals, have raised his work far above mere intellectual
acuteness and minuteness."
In Eucken we have one of the greatest thinkers of the age--some would
say _the_ greatest--setting his life upon emphasising the spiritual at a
time when the tendency is strongly in materialistic directions. He has
gathered around him a number of able and whole-hearted disciples in
various countries, and future ages may find in Eucken the greatest
force in the revulsion of the twentieth century (that is already making
itself felt) from the extreme materialistic position, to take religion
up again, and particularly the Christian religion, as the only
satisfying solution of humanity's most urgent problem.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
The English reader should first read:
_The Meaning and Value of Life_ (A. & C. Black), which is a good
introduction to Eucken's philosophy; and
_The Life of the Spirit_ (Williams & Norgate).
He can then proceed to study Eucken's three comprehensive and important
works:
_Life's Basis and Life's Ideal_, in which he gives a detailed presentation
of his philosophy (A. & C. Black).
_The Truth of Religion_, in which he gives his ideas on religion (Williams
& Norgate).
_The Problem of Human Life_, in which he makes a searching analysis of the
philosophies of the past (Fisher Unwin).
The student will be much helped in his study by the following books:
_Eucken and Bergson_, by E. Hermann (James Clark & Co.).
_Rudolf Eucken's Philosophy of Life_, by Professor W.R. Boyce Gibson
(A. & C. Black).
When he has studied these he will probably be anxious to read other
works of Eucken's, of which translations have already appeared, or are
soon to appear.
