Way to Wisdom

Karl Jaspers, a key figure in existentialism, provides an accessible introduction to philosophy that reflects his own philosophical ideas. He emphasizes that philosophy originates from feelings of wonder, doubt, and a sense of forsakenness. The work underscores the notion that the philosophical journey is one of ongoing transformation and self-exploration, inviting readers to engage deeply with their own thoughts and experiences. This reprint preserves the essence of the original 1951 edition, making Jaspers' insights available to a contemporary audience.
