Synopsis "Way to Wisdom "

2015 Reprint of 1951 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. One of the founders of existentialism, the eminent philosopher Karl Jaspers here presents for the general reader an introduction to philosophy. In doing so, he also offers a lucid summary of his own philosophical thought. In Jaspers' view, the source of philosophy is to be found "in wonder, in doubt, in a sense of forsakenness," and the philosophical quest is a process of continual change and self-discovery.

Karl Jaspers (Oldenburg, 1883 - Basel, 1969), psychopathologist and philosopher, was one of the most significant voices of the 20th century. In 1909, he graduated in medicine, and in 1914 began his teaching career, first as a professor of psychology and, later, in 1922, as a professor of philosophy at the University of Heidelberg. Between 1930 and 1945, he was removed from his chair by the Nazis. He rejoined the University of Heidelberg after the war ended, and in 1948 moved to Switzerland to teach at the University of Basel. Among his vast output, notable works include Psychology of World Views, Philosophy from the Standpoint of Existence, Man in the Modern Age, On Truth, and Artistic Genius and Madness, Strindberg and Van Gogh (Cliff 2001)
