Rilke often expressed his philosophical views and opinions in his poetry. One common topic he addressed was God and religion. Rilke grew up in a Christian environment, and he often praised God in his works, both literally and metaphorically. However, he rarely comes off as dogmatic or illogical. Thus, I believe this might prove to be one interesting topic to explore about Rilke’s personal philosophical views.
Another theme Rilke often explored was the connection between humans and nature. He asked fundamental questions about human nature, nature itself, and the purpose of life. He indirectly suggested that if religion and logic fail to provide us with answers about our existence, then perhaps we should seek answers in poetry and mysticism. This is also a unique topic that you can explore.
