Paradoxically, Karl Jaspers’ coming into his own in philosophy occurred in a book that has psychology in its title, namely Psychologie der Weltanschauungen (PdW) rendered in English: Psychology of worldviews. Similarly paradoxical is the fact that Jaspers rejected any normative content yet the book is full of normative stances, in favor of Bildung, of thinking, of knowledge and of intensity – the latter endorsing enthusiasm in science, communication, life and love, based on values that refer to the transcendent. Simultaneously, PdW is a very classical German philosophy book, that is based on Hegel, Dilthey and Kant, yet Jaspers linked them to enthusiastic thinkers such as Nietzsche and Kierkegaard and was opening thus the way to existence philosophy (Jaspers, Heidegger and the later French tradition of Sartre and Camus and others).:1.

Gleichzeitig ist PdW ein sehr klassisches deutsches Philosophiebuch, das auf Hegel, Dilthey und Kant aufbaut, Jaspers verband sie jedoch mit begeisterten Denkern wie Nietzsche und Kierkegaard und öffnete so den Weg zur Existenzphilosophie (Jaspers, Heidegger und die spätere französische Tradition von Sartre und Camus und anderen).:1.
