Abstract

This original probate fragment of Jaspers’ literary estate summarizes five principles that define Jaspers’ philosophical position of 1942/43.

This unpublished manuscript was released by Hans Saner, curator of Jaspers’ literary estate, for first publication and is translated from German by Helmut Wautischer. The ellipsis indicate redundant and duplicate text omitted by the curator for the sake of a more cohesive presentation of Jaspers’ thesis.
