Tragic Sense Of Life

This work presents a series of philosophical meditations on the human condition centered on a tragic tension between reason and the heart's hunger for immortality. It examines personal identity and continuity, critiques materialism and deterministic rationalism, and considers religious solutions—particularly Catholic doctrines of resurrection and sacrament—as sources of consolation. Through reflections on doubt, despair, love, pity, and the will to persist, it surveys thinkers and positions from Cartesian and Spinozan rationalism to vitalist and existential responses, ultimately arguing that faith arises from human uncertainty and the need to affirm personal being against annihilation.
