‘… it is impossible for man to lose Transcendence without ceasing to be man.’
For Karl Jaspers, the central issues of philosophy are Transcendence and selfhood; for him, these are one and the same. In this book, Darius Samadian examines Jaspers’ ‘Philosophy of Existence’ in a new light by relating Jaspers’ philosophy to the mystical thought of Christian thinkers Meister Eckhart and Nicolaus Cusanus. The author addresses what Jaspers sees as the flawed way in which Transcendence, or God, has been viewed in Western philosophy, as well as highlighting the importance of freedom and reason in Jaspers’ work, and how he relates these concepts to finding a spiritual meaning in life. The author highlights how Jaspers’ philosophy presents an authentic attitude to Transcendence and religious experience in the modern world.
This book is an important contribution to scholarship on Karl Jaspers, and the study of Mysticism and religious experience. It is valuable for anyone interested in the big questions of existence and reality. The answers to these questions might be closer to you than you are to yourself.
