El mundo actual, con su ánimo individualista, materialista, hedonista, utilitarista, consumista, ultraproductivo, cuantitativo, gregario, apremiante etc., muestra escaso interés por las eternas preguntas y en modo alguno las reconoce como factores incondicionales e invariables —semejantes a las constantes físicas (v.g. la gravitación, la velocidad de la luz)— de suprema relevancia simbólica y vital, de cuyo vigor depende la totalidad de las actividades humanas.
General context: same academic article on ageing, longevity, etc.
Not sure 'urgent' or 'pressing' flows well in context. Had wondered about "pressured", "hurried", "hasty", but not sure they would be accurate in context.
Very grateful for your views. Thank you in anticipation!

hurried
Seems to go well in the context of the other descriptors, i.e. "hedonista, utilitarista, consumista, ultraproductivo, cuantitativo, gregario, apremiante"
Apremiar: "Dar prisa, compeler a alguien a que haga algo con prontitud"
The idea of demanding also goes well with the idea of "compeler", so perhaps "demanding" could also work.
Also see this sense: "Compeler u obligar a alguien con mandamiento de autoridad a que haga algo"

8 hrs
rushed
Synonym of hurried (pax William).
BTW, I was going to post "pressing" until you cast doubt upon it.

urging
Hard to choose from so many great options!
Maybe "urging" better captures the two-fold essence of "apremiante" (the time dimension of "urgency" and that certain degree of external force [prompting, pressing, forcing, coaxing]).
For this context, I would go as far as translating "apremiante" as "ever-urging"
Also, the present participle adjective looks like a closer reflection of the "-ante"
suffix which indicates the doing of the action expressed by the root.
