Summary "The Seekers" by Jessie E. Sampter is a philosophical exploration written in the early 20th century. This work documents the conversations and inquiries of a group of adolescents as they engage in discussions about religion, morality, and the meaning of life. The main characters are the members of a discussion club, called the Seekers, who represent a diverse range of backgrounds and beliefs, united by their quest for understanding the deeper truths of existence. The opening of the narrative introduces the premise of the Seekers, consisting of seven young people, who gather to explore profound philosophical questions through dialogue. The facilitator outlines two main issues they aim to address: the evident lack of common purpose among different religious beliefs and the need for effective moral and religious education for the younger generation. As they embark on their philosophical journey, they delve into topics such as the nature of God, the relationship between science and religion, and the essence of good and evil, all while demonstrating their earnest desire to seek knowledge and truth. This initial section establishes the framework for their discussions, which aim to blend personal introspection with broader existential queries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
