He can then proceed to study Eucken’s three comprehensive and important works: 

Life’s Basis and Life’s Ideal, in which he gives a detailed presentation
    of his philosophy (A. & C. Black).
The Truth of Religion, in which he gives his ideas on religion (Williams
    & Norgate).
The Problem of Human Life, in which he makes a searching analysis of the
    philosophies of the past (Fisher Unwin).

The student will be much helped in his study by the following books: 

Eucken and Bergson, by E. Hermann (James Clark & Co.). Rudolf Eucken’s Philosophy of Life, by Professor W.R.  Boyce Gibson
    (A. & C. Black).

When he has studied these he will probably be anxious to read other works of Eucken’s, of which translations have already appeared, or are soon to appear.
