The Shift from Religious to Philosophical Inquiry

In recent decades, there has been a noticeable transition from religious-based frameworks to philosophical contemplation regarding the meaning of life. With the decline of religious authority, many individuals are turning toward philosophical schools of thought, such as Stoicism and Epicureanism, seeking guidance on how to live purposefully. This trend reflects a growing interest in personal values, ethical choices, and the pursuit of happiness through philosophical reflection. Books that outline steps for achieving a happy and meaningful life indicate that people are actively seeking philosophical insights tailored to contemporary life challenges.
