5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic overview of Jaspers' thought,
By A Customer
This review is from: Philosophy of Existence (Works in Continental Philosophy) (Paperback)
Written between "Philosophie" and "Von der Wahrheit," this slim volume provides a fantastic and surprisingly readable overview of Jaspers' metaphysics. Based on a series of lectures, the text is less technical than Philosophie; however, Jaspers manages to explain the Encompassing, Transcendence, Existenz and Ciphers in moderate detail.I found Grabau's translation much more lucid than the texts included (for instance) within Walter Kaufmann's "Existentialism from Dostoyevsky to Sartre." Since Grabau's translation of key terms is similar to E. B. Ashton's translation of Philosophie, I have had no trouble going from one to the other. Overall, I recommend this book for those interested in delving into Jaspers' metaphysics. |
