Mistä tulen, mihin menen? : Johdantoa salaisiin tieteihin by Carl Du Prel
"Mistä tulen, mihin menen? : Johdantoa salaisiin tieteihin" by Carl Du Prel is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the profound questions surrounding human existence, such as our origins, purpose, and ultimate fate. At its core, the text examines the human condition, arguing that our understanding of ourselves is shrouded in mystery and that both science and philosophy struggle to provide satisfactory answers. The opening
of the text establishes a contemplative tone focused on the enigmatic nature of human existence. Du Prel raises fundamental questions about the relationship between psychology and the soul, challenging the adequacy of materialistic interpretations of life. He proposes a comparative exploration of different philosophical perspectives—materialistic, pantheistic, and mystical—on what it means to be human. Using metaphors, such as the story of a mariner awakening on a deserted island without knowledge of his past, Du Prel illustrates humanity's shared confusion regarding identity and existence, setting the stage for deeper exploration into the nature of the soul and its relationship with the physical body as the text unfolds.
