	Karl Jaspers (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Jaspers intuited that Kantian transcendentalism suppressed a deep-lying impulse for transcendence, and this aspect of Kant's thought was badly neglected by interpreters who saw Kant's philosophy as a doctrine of pure immanence or autonomy.
		At the centre of this debate was Jaspers' critique of Bultmann's strategy of scriptural de-mythologization: that is, his attempt to clarify the truth-contents of the scriptures by eliminating the historical or mythological elements of the New Testament, and by concentrating, in an existentially intonated exegesis, on the perennially valid and present aspects of the Bible.
		Jaspers responded to this characterization of Germany by claiming that societies which undermine the cultural role of the bourgeois elite are inherently unstable, and that the educated bourgeoisie has a primary role to play in upholding the preconditions of democratic culture.

		Jaspers was born in Oldenburg in 1883 to a mother from a local farming community and a jurist father.
		Jaspers became dissatisfied with the way the medical community of the time approached the study of mental illness and set himself the task of improving the psychiatric approach.
		Jaspers' formulation of Transcendence as ultimate non-objectivity (or no-thing-ness) has led many philosophers to argue that ultimately, Jaspers became a monist, though Jaspers himself continually stressed the necessity of recognizing the validity of the concepts both of subjectivity and of objectivity.

		In this, Jaspers again accentuated the claim that the antinomies which reason encounters and resolves in its unfolding as truth are at once both cognitive and experiential antinomies, and that the lived moments of human existence are always of cognitively constitutive relevance for the formation of consciousness.

	Lev Shestov - Speculation and Revelation - Karl Jaspers 1-2
		Jaspers' small book Vernunft und Existenz, (Groningen: Verlag J.B. Walters, 1935),[1] which consists of a series of lectures that he delivered in Holland in the German language and that were also published in Holland in German, is therefore of enormous interest for us.
		Jaspers says that rational philosophy is prepared honestly to admit that it "does not understand" either belief in God or unbelief, that for it there is no "revealed truth," but that it is prepared to acknowledge the right of existence both to belief and unbelief.
		Jaspers does not speak of Dostoevsky; probably he was not interested in the Russian writer or he did not consider it necessary to mention him when it was a question of philosophy.

	Karl Jaspers Summary
		JASPERS, KARL (1883–1969), was one of the most influential German thinkers of the twentieth century and a founder of modern existential philosophy.
		Therefore, Jaspers totally opposed Bultmann's project of "demythologization," which, he argued, implied that myths are theories in disguise, that they could be translated into a profane tongue so that a theologian could salvage elements that are acceptable to scientifically trained "modern man" and discard the "superstitious" rest.
		Jaspers no longer considered demonism to be an intrinsic property of technology, but a result of the fact that humans have handled it as an end in itself, rather than a means for human ends.

	Chris Thornhill - Karl Jaspers: Politics and Metaphysics - Reviewed by Alan Olson, Boston University - Philosophical ...
		Jaspers hovers between these two approaches, as Thornhill points out astutely, the upshot being that it is finally difficult to determine where Jaspers stands.
		Thornhillâs discussion of the political Jaspers includes a brilliant analysis of Heidegger and LukÃ¡cs in the form of a triadic dialectic whereby, as in the treatment of Hegel by Marx, âheaven is brought down to earthâ.
		As we now cautiously move into the 21st century, Chris Thornhill provides ample evidence as to why Karl Jaspers stands vindicated from the exigencies and enthusiasms of the moment, and why he deserves to be rediscovered and appropriated during a more stoical age.

		Anybody familiar with Jaspers should be prepared to comprehend that he would have nothing to do with that, and understands that the whole of Jaspers works’ slant away from such misuse of a vatic authority.
		Jaspers then states that…beyond…these mythical cosmogonies “a more truthful answer seems to lie in the concept of creation from nothingness.” Jaspers puts totalitarian worldviews and mythical cosmologies together, within time/space conceptualizations (time and space being merely tools without content when not applied to specifics in the world, so to speak).
		Jaspers says the creation of the world is exempted from temporality, which is part of the world and there are two historic instances of this idea.

	John Landon, Karl Jaspers
		Jaspers does not start the in-depth study of humankind with preconceptions of that sort, but does bring to the study what he has seen after years of research involving the great philosophers, worldviews, and a general application of clinical experience within the field of psychopathology.
		Landon suggests Jaspers approach to a historical period (something historical is indicative of something outstanding from a norm such as his use of the words “attack”, “phase” and “period” in his Psychopathology) amounts to a search for a surrogate revelation.
		I’d guess he is referring to Jaspers’ preference for silent listening and thinking at the manifestations from the cypher of that period of coordinating unawareness from the depths of “Unchanging man under changing conditions” when and where several and those behind the scenes “stand outside of history” (Philosophical Faith and Revelation p.300).
