"Ethics and Modern Thought: A Theory of Their Relations" by Rudolf Eucken is a scholarly work that elaborates on ethical philosophy, likely written in the early 20th century. The text focuses on the complexities and challenges of modern morality, questioning the foundations of ethical behavior in a rapidly evolving world impacted by science, religion, and individualism. Eucken seeks to reconcile the various currents of morality that seem to conflict with one another in contemporary society. The opening of the work sets the stage for an exploration of modern ethical dilemmas, noting how past notions of morality, which once provided a solid foundation, now face significant challenges. Eucken discusses the disintegration of confidence in traditional moral values, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of humanity's spiritual nature to develop a cohesive ethical framework. He highlights the various influences—religious, rational, social, and work ethics—and their implications for contemporary moral thought, suggesting that a renewed connection to a higher spiritual life might be essential for addressing the ethical fragmentation experienced in modern society.
