KARL JASPERS (1883-1969), uno de los más originales pensadores del pasado siglo XX, dedicó los últimos años de su vida a la creación de su obra "Los grandes filósofos", una historia de la filosofía única en su género. Esta ambiciosa obra pretende ser una historia verdaderamente mundial de la filosofía que estudie en serio no sólo el pensamiento occidental, sino también el oriental. Uno de los aspectos que más llama en ella nuestra atención es que Jaspers, a diferencia de la inmensa mayoría de los historiadores de la filosofía, no se limita a la mera ordenación cronológica de los grandes pensadores, sino que ?inspirándose en la teoría de tipos humanos de su maestro Max Weber- los agrupa tipológicamente, por afinidades electivas de pensamiento y temperamento. Un "gran filósofo" es para Jaspers un pensador que está por encima de su tiempo, que es innatamente original e insobornablemente independiente y que aporta al mundo una nueva comunicabilidad. Platón. San Agustín y Kant son los "fund

No deja de parecer una ironía que las llamadas historias generales o universales de la filosofía prescindan generalmente del pensamiento oriental y empiecen con Grecia. Pero independientemente del hecho de que la historia de la cultura no se reduce a la historia de la cultura occidental, sino que debe comprender también las otras grandes culturas, hay una razón poderosa para considerar pedagógica y vitalmente importante el estudio del pensamiento oriental, y muy en particular del antiguo. Karl Jaspers defendió su conocida tesis del tiempo-eje, partiendo del dato, empíricamente constatable, de que hacia el año 500 antes de Cristo, o, por fijar un margen más amplio, entre los años 800 y 200 antes de nuestra era, tuvo lugar, tanto en Occidente como en Asia, un profundo proceso o fermento espiritual, en virtud del cual el hombre vivió por primera vez la situación límite de enfrentarse a fondo y reflexivamente consigo mismo y con el destino, preguntándose por el sentido del mundo y de la vi

Philosophy of Existence was first presented to the public as a series of lectures invited by The German Academy of Frankfurt. In preparing these lectures Jaspers, whom the Nazis had already dismissed from his professorship at Heidelberg, knew that he was speaking in Germany for the last time. Jaspers used the occasion to offer an account of the cultural and intellectual situation from which existentialism emerged as well as a summary of his own philosophy. The book serves three purposes today: it brings the many strands of the existential movement into focus; it provides an overview of Jaspers's own philosophical position; and it demonstrates by example that philosophy need not be irrational, antiscientific, journalistic, or homiletic in order to be existential and engagé. In this short book Jaspers provides a corrective for the popular view of existentialism as a pessimistic, irrationalist philosophy. He maintains that it is, rather part of mainstream of Western philosophy—the form that philosophy has taken in our day.

One of the founders of existentialism, the eminent philosopher Karl Jaspers here presents for the general reader an introduction to philosophy. In doing so, he also offers a lucid summary of his own philosophical thought. In Jaspers’ view, the source of philosophy is to be found “in wonder, in doubt, in a sense of forsakenness,” and the philosophical quest is a process of continual change and self-discovery. In a new foreword to this edition, Richard M. Owsley provides a brief overview of Jaspers’ life and achievement.“An eloquent expression of a great hope that philosophy may again become an activity really relevant not only to the perennial problems of life and death but to the unusual configurations of such problems in our time.”—Julian N. Hartt, Yale Review“Original, sincere, cultivated, and stimulating.”—Philosophy

In 1910, Karl Jaspers wrote a seminal essay on morbid jealousy in which he laid the foundation for the psychopathological phenomenology that through his work and the work of Hans Gruhle and Kurt Schneider, among others, would become the hallmark of the Heidelberg school of psychiatry. In General Psychopathology, his most important contribution to the Heidelberg school, Jaspers critiques the scientific aspirations of psychotherapy, arguing that in the realm of the human, the explanation of behavior through the observation of regularity and patterns in it ( Erklarende Psychologie) must be supplemented by an understanding of the "meaning-relations" experienced by human beings ( Verstehende Psychologie).
