"Life's Basis and Life's Ideal: The Fundamentals of a New Philosophy of Life" by Rudolf Eucken is a book that examines why past ideas about life don't fully work anymore. It searches for a new way of thinking that better fits what humans hope for and what life is really like. The book takes a look at different ways of thinking, like religion, focusing on nature, and being very individualistic. It says that these ideas don't quite hit the mark and argues for a more meaningful spiritual life that connects to bigger truths. To start, the book talks about how messy modern life feels, where people have nice things but aren't sure about what's important. Eucken suggests that we need to really think about what life is based on and what we want it to be, not just point out the flaws in current beliefs.
