Freedom and Karl Jasper's Philosophy

As a founding father of Existentialism, Karl Jaspers has been seen as a twentieth-century successor to Nietzsche and Kierkegaard; as an exponent of reason, he has been seen as an heir of Kant. But studies tracing influences upon his thought or placing him in the context of Existentialism have not dealt with Jaspers's concern with the political realm and how we think in it and about it. In this study Elisabeth Young-Bruehl explicates Jaspers's practical philosophizing, his search for ways in which we can orient ourselves toward our world and its political questions.Young-Bruehl, Elisabeth is the author of 'Freedom and Karl Jasper's Philosophy' with ISBN 9780300026290 and ISBN 0300026293.
