A German philosopher who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1908 - not for novels or poetry, but for idealist philosophy so forcefully written it counted as art.

About this person

Rudolf Christoph Eucken was born on 5 January 1846 in Germany and built a career around what the Swedish Academy later called an "earnest search for truth." His idealistic philosophy of life, laid out across numerous works, combined penetrating thought with unusual warmth and rhetorical strength. That combination - the rigor of a thinker and the pulse of a stylist - earned him the 1908 Nobel Prize in Literature, nominated by a member of the Academy itself. He died on 15 September 1926.
