A Guide for the Perplexed by E. F. Schumacher is a philosophical exploration of how humans can find meaning and orientation in a complex, often disorienting world. In contrast to reductionist science and materialism, Schumacher proposes a multi-layered view of reality—ranging from the physical to the spiritual—and emphasizes the importance of wisdom, self-knowledge, and moral development. Drawing on insights from religion, philosophy, and psychology, the book serves as a modern manual for personal and ethical clarity, advocating for inner growth and a more holistic understanding of human purpose.
