First published in 1925, this philosophical treatise by the Russian religious thinker and émigré philosopher Semen Liudvigovich Frank (1877–1950) was written for a postwar émigré readership. Frank, known for bridging idealist philosophy and Orthodox theology, explores existential and metaphysical questions surrounding the meaning of life, offering a Christian answer grounded in spiritual experience rather than rationalism.
