The history of philosophy is ...

The history of philosophy is not, like the history of the sciences, to be studied with the intellect alone. That which is receptive in us and that which impinges upon us from history is the reality of man's being, unfolding itself in thought.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Nietzsche's ideas and plans: ...

Nietzsche's ideas and plans: for example, the idea of giving up the whole wretched academic world to form a secular monastic community.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Reason is like an open secret that can become known to anyone at any time; it is the quiet space into which everyone can enter through his own thought

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

What is meaningful cannot in ...

What is meaningful cannot in fact be isolated…. We achieve understanding within a circular movement from particular facts to the whole that includes them and back again from the whole thus reached to the particular significant facts.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Man is always something more ...

Man is always something more than what he knows of himself. He is not what he is simply once and for all, but is a process; he is not merely an extant life, but is, within that life, endowed with possibilities through the freedom he possesses to make of himself what he will by the activities on which he decides.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

There is no God, cry the mass...

There is no God, cry the masses more and more vociferously; and with the loss of God man loses his sense of values — is, as it were, massacred because he feels himself of no account.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

As a universal history of philosophy, the history of philosophy must become one great unity.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

To decide to become a philoso...

To decide to become a philosopher seemed as foolish to me as to decide to become a poet.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

The community of masses of hu...

The community of masses of human beings has produced an order of life in regulated channels which connects individuals in a technically functioning organisation, but not inwardly from the historicity of their souls.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

The more determinedly I exist...

The more determinedly I exist, as myself, within the conditions of the time, the more clearly I shall hear the language of the past, the nearer I shall feel the glow of its life.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Greatness of mind becomes an object of love only when the power at work in it itself has a noble character

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Philosophy as practice does n...

Philosophy as practice does not mean its restriction to utility or applicability, that is, to what serves morality or produces serenity of soul.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Reason is like an open secret...

Reason is like an open secret that can become known to anyone at any time; it is the quiet space into which everyone can enter through his own thought.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

If philosophy is practice, a ...

If philosophy is practice, a demand to know the manner in which its history is to be studied is entailed: a theoretical attitude toward it becomes real only in the living appropriation of its contents from the texts.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Even scientific knowledge, if...

Even scientific knowledge, if there is anything to it, is not a random observation of random objects; for the critical objectivity of significant knowledge is attained as a practice only philosophically in inner action.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

I began the study of medicine...

I began the study of medicine, impelled by a desire for knowledge of facts and of man. The resolution to do disciplined work tied me to both laboratory and clinic for a long time to come.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

The great philosophers and th...

The great philosophers and the great works are standards for the selection of what is essential. Everything that we do in studying the history of philosophy ultimately serves their better understanding.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Everything depends therefore ...

Everything depends therefore on encountering thought at its source. Such thought is the reality of man's being, which achieved consciousness and understanding of itself through it.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

I discovered that the study o...

I discovered that the study of past philosophers is of little use unless our own reality enters into it. Our reality alone allows the thinker's questions to become comprehensible.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

My own being can be judged by the depths I reach in making these historical origins my own.
