Rudolf Eucken won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1908 "in recognition of his earnest search for truth, his penetrating power of thought, his wide range of vision, and the warmth and strength in presentation with which in his numerous works he has vindicated and developed an idealistic philosophy of life."

Eucken's Collected Essays are #64/121 on my Nobel reading challenge. I can see the "range of vision" and the "idealistic philosophy" in his writing, but the topics and scope felt very dated; there wasn't anything that felt relevant or meaningful to my life.
