Karl Jaspers

Karl Jaspers was a German philosopher who played a significant role in existential philosophy. He believed that life's meaning emerges from personal experiences, choices, and confrontations with existential questions, such as suffering, death, and the search for truth. Jaspers emphasized the importance of individual freedom and the limits of human understanding, proposing that true knowledge arises from grappling with existential dilemmas. In religion, he argued for an approach that respects personal experience and understanding, suggesting that authentic faith involves grappling with the infinite nature of existence, rather than merely adhering to dogma.
