Karl Jaspers : Politics and Metaphysics

This Book Sets Out A New Reading Of The Much-neglected Philosophy Of Karl Jaspers. By Questioning The Common Perception Of Jaspers Either As A Proponent Of Irrationalist Cultural Philosophy Or As An Early, Peripheral Disciple Of Martin Heidegger, It Re-establishes Him As A Central Figure In Modern European Philosophy. Giving Particular Consideration To His Position In Epistemological, Metaphysical And Political Debate, The Author Argues That Jaspers's Work Deserves Renewed Consideration In A Number Of Important Discussions, Particularly In Hermeneutics, Anthropological Reflections On Religion, The Critique Of Idealism, And Debates On The End Of Metaphysics.
