What makes us afraid is our gr...

What makes us afraid is our great freedom in the face of the emptiness that has still to be filled.

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.

The moment is the sole reality.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Conflicts may be the sources o...

Conflicts may be the sources of defeat, lost life and a limitation of our potentiality but they may also lead to greater depth of living and the birth of more far-reaching unities, which flourish in the tensions that engender them.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

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

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

When in our isolation we see o...

When in our isolation we see our lives seeping away as a mere succession of moments, tossed meaninglessly about by accidents and overwhelming events; when we contemplate a history that seems to be at an end, leaving only chaos behind it, then we are impelled to raise ourselves above history.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Only a development of thought ...

Only a development of thought achieved through the self-education of the whole man can prevent any body of thought whatsoever from becoming a poison; can prevent enlightenment from becoming an agent of death.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

It is the search for the truth...

It is the search for the truth, not possession of the truth which is the way of philosophy. Its questions are more relevant than its answers, and every answer becomes a new question.

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

Philosophy as practice does no...

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

Philosophy can only be approac...

Philosophy can only be approached with the most concrete comprehension.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

With the disintegration of all...

With the disintegration of all that [Nietzsche] had revered, existence, to him, had become a desert in which only one thing remained, namely that which had relentlessly forced him into this path: truthfulness that knows no limits and is not subject to any condition.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Nietzsche's ideas and plans: f...

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

Nietzsche, driven by the absol...

Nietzsche, driven by the absolute demand of his existential truthfulness, could not abide the bourgeois world, even when its representative had human nobility.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

Only then, approaching my fortieth birthday, I made philosophy my life's work.

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

The history of philosophy is n...

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

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 community of masses of hum...

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

My own being can be judged by ...

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

Karl Jaspers 65 quotes

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