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.
