Excerpt from Knowledge and Life
A web of the mutual relations of such elements. This web of relations has also more and more drawn man into itself, and has regarded him as a mere part of itself. Man's life has thus been entirely transformed into a relation with the environment of sense impressions; life is viewed as exhausting its meaning in its effects and counter-effects in connection with the external world. Thus what happens within the inwardness of the soul becomes a merely subsidiary phenomenon - it becomes a mere repetition in miniature of what happens in the great world without. Man thus becomes a mere link in an endless chain he can neither mean anything special nor grasp, by means of his acts, any totality or whole. And if no kind of totality or whole Obtains here, the idea of an inner relation to a whole.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between knowledge and life, arguing that true knowledge can only come from a life that is deeply engaged with the world. The author traces the history of philosophy, showing how the quest for knowledge has led to a dangerous separation of the mind from the body, and of thought from action. This separation has resulted in a loss of meaning and purpose in life, and a growing sense of alienation and despair. The author argues that we need to return to a more holistic understanding of knowledge, one that encompasses both thought and action, and that is rooted in the concrete realities of our lives. Only then can we hope to find genuine meaning and fulfillment in life.
