Do you think there is an real lack of world- and life-affirmation amongst Western culture?
It’s a crude translation of a term that’s much more eloquent (and prevalent) in German. As Dr. Albert Schweitzer describes it: “World- and life-affirmation unceasingly urges human beings to serve their fellows, society, the nation, mankind, and, indeed, all that lives with their utmost will and in lively hope of realizable progress.”
It’s supposed to be an affirmation of the reality of a not-miserable world in which positive things are 100% achievable.
