The Issues of Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025752198)

"The Issues of Life" is a profound exploration of human existence, purpose, and the pursuit of value by the influential philosopher of religion, Henry Nelson Wieman. In this work, Wieman investigates the practical application of philosophical and religious principles to the everyday challenges of living. He addresses the central question of how individuals can orient their lives toward that which is truly significant, moving beyond superficial desires to find a deeper sense of fulfillment and moral clarity.

Drawing on his background in religious naturalism, Wieman examines the conditions necessary for personal and social transformation. He discusses the nature of growth, the importance of communal values, and the role of rigorous intellectual inquiry in understanding the divine or the supreme good. The book serves as a guide for those seeking to harmonize their spiritual aspirations with a scientific and rational worldview. By identifying the critical issues that define the human condition, Wieman offers a framework for living a life of maximum meaning and creative potential.

This work remains a significant contribution to 20th-century religious thought, appealing to readers interested in the intersection of faith, reason, and ethical development.
