Abstract
This volume contains the first English translations of texts by Karl Jaspers on Aquinas, Kant, Hegel, and Kierkegaard. In addition, interpretative and critical essays by renowned scholars assess Jaspers' contributions to the history of philosophy and the philosophy of history. This stimulating collection of new translations and in-depth essays by noted experts on one of the 20th century's great minds will complement college and university libraries and be of value to anyone interested in comparative Eastern and Western philosophy, the history of ideas, or the interrelations of biography and history.
