Ethics and Modern Thought: A Theory of Their Relations
Eucken, Rudolf
Ethics
Through his sustained and heroic appeal to what is most spiritual in
man, Eucken has ennobled the significance and the mission of philosophy.
He aims at developing, not a new category, but a new culture, and holds
that it is the privilege of philosophy, by penetrating to what is most
inward in human nature, to bring a religious inspiration to bear upon
the problems of the world of human labor. Eucken's philosophy is a
philosophy of life. It is a philosophy of reality as well. It treats of
the sources of man's strength, and the meaning and purpose of his
spiritual endeavor. And can there be anything more real than the
activity of a life that has consciously realized the true sources of its
power and the goal of its ultimate aspirations?

"The work is able, as may naturally be expected of Prof. Eucken. But it
is more. The author is very much in earnest and he is anxious for men to
see the great need of religion in their lives. In this book we have the
best of his mind and heart."

"The philosophy of Eucken shares with that of Bergson the keenest living
interest of thoughtful men of all classes at the present day.... Eucken
