How did Eucken argue for spiritual vitality?
My arguments for spiritual vitality are grounded not solely in abstract logic, but in the lived experience of humanity. I appealed to the undeniable evidence of our ethical strivings, our moral intuitions, and our yearning for something beyond mere material existence. Through works like *Lebensanschauung der großen Denker*, I demonstrated how a continuous spiritual current has propelled human culture and consciousness, revealing an inner interconnectedness and teleological direction. I sought to awaken a deeper recognition of the 'creative forces of the human spirit' that actively shape not only our individual lives but the very fabric of civilization, showing that life's true vitality transcends a purely mechanistic understanding.
