Jaspers in Dialogue

Views from Europe & Japan

Karl Jaspers (1883–1969) stands as one of the pillars of twentieth-century intellectual history for his groundbreaking engagement with philosophies outside mainstream western thought. This volume brings contributions from the cultural perspectives of Europe and Japan aimed at bringing Jaspers’ philosophy into more nuanced dialogue with both. Its ten essays explore themes in Jaspers’ thought related to religion, technology, and science, weaving in insights from his students and influential figures who intersected with his work. Together, they seek to illuminate elements of Jaspers’ legacy that warrant further exploration.
